Koho not Bauer but that's ok. :-)

We looked at the Avant, it's just not big enough for one kid to have friend
come along. I'm not real thrilled to drive it, but on a trip it is nice.
Recenttly I spent a Sunday afternoon driving from Spokane  to Seattle (after
the wreck) in the back of a suburban with a tv, the window is nice, the road
games are fun, but when the two movies we watched were over we were in the
driveway and not once was the phrase "are we there yet" heard.

If we go some where around town we use my car for most chores unless we have
a space issue.

The other thing is trying to get the wife into an Audi, all she ever
remembers is when we work on them. Heaven forbid I ever have to spend more
than $30 to fix anything! I hear about it for a month!
