| | "Do not feed the dinosaur! Ride a bike!" That's the new T-shirt of a series that could change the world. Well,
first you gotta know who the dinosaur is, but I can tell you he's BIG,
STUPID and REFUSES TO EVOLVE. He may look like this... http://animals.timduru.org/dirlist/d...nii-Illust.jpg
Or he may look like this... http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...Den%26sa %3DN
In any case, you may have decided you had it with the stupid beast,
and you've decided to give a chance to the smart and small, just like
a bike. "Do not feed the dinosaur" seems like a good start.

Or you may decide to buy something like a Jetta TDI, but I don't have
a license to sell VW products. 
"So you get all the attributes of a commercial truck, but you don't
need a commercial driver's license to drive it.
The legendary International © DT 466 diesel engine provides up to 6
tons of hauling power. The air-ride cab and seats provide an
exceptionally smooth ride. And a spacious and well-appointed interior
ensures automotive-like comfort and convenience. The result of more
than a century of leadership in the truck market, the International
7300 CXT delivers performance. In a big way"
Update to Post Aug 11, 2005
When I initially posted about the biggest suv I owned a Yukon Denali.
After 5 months my wife and I couldn't stand it any longer and decided
to replace it. We ended up bying a diesel powered vehicle but not the
International CXT. Instead we purchased a 2005 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
powered by a 1.9 liter TDI [turbo diesel]. We love it. Going from 13
mpg in the city to 36 mpg in the city is amazing and Shannon can
actually park it. We do miss some of the room we had in the Yukon but
it's totally worth it and I know Shannon would agree. So I'm sorry to
disappoint those of you that thought I love gas guzzling oversized
bloated suvs, I'm really a penny-pincher at heart." |
