trucks and stuff

i've had the opportunity (imperative?) to drive a chevy colorado for the last couple days. i have to say that it just added to my decision to never drive a suv. the best perks were:

cd player
ability to accelerate
"smart" functions (auto light on/off/adjustment, auto music shut-off, auto unlock/lock of doors)

but i really disliked how floaty everythings was, how loosy-goosy the handling is compared to a sedan and i really really really disliked how i could feel pretty much everything on the road.

why the opportunity? it was time to do a intermediate service on my car and since it's old, it had lots of things to clean and such and costed me $530 for everything. but at least i got a free car wash out of it and a loaner for two days. :)

my mom's wondering if it's time for me to get a newer car or take my dad's now that my car keeps needing things to be replaced or cleaned. still... i like my car and it drives great. :)
