Happy Birthday!
Thanks Everybody! It was a great birthday till the evening. Then I got sick . Not just upset-stomach sick. This was full-blown sick. Can I say how lame it is to be sick on your birthday. Incredibly. Feeling a bit better today though! Thanks again for the birthday wishes! :]

Seriously! Every time we went to leave she was like "5 more minutes, please!" I think she tried out the Smart Slide seats at least 6 times.

Vehicle Shopping
Well, My mom thinks she found the car she wants: Thats right, a 2007 Saturn Outlook XE FWD (she decided that AWD wasn't that big of a deal-breaker) She saw it on the way home yesterday and was like, woah, I really want to look at that! So we stopped, had a look around, took it for a test drive. She was in love with it, we could barely pry her out of it! Hopefully it'll be gracing our garage in a short time On a side note, neither of my parents knew Saturn was a GM brand until I told them after. They were both really surprised. I think there might be 2 new GM fans in the world

Little towns or quiet hideaways you escape to?
I'm a big fan of the entire state of Maine in general, but one city that is really somewhere to get away is Caribou. Small, quiet, and secluded.

Lutz Not Happy with Changing Fuel Economy Rules
So, uh, getting somewhat back on track, how exactly is CAFE measured? Do they just take the mpg ratings of all a vehicles engines and then average them? So car company A has cars with averages of 31mpg, 29 mpg, and 19mpg, so their CAFE score would be 26.33mpg?

Anyone else attracted to this???
To be perfectly honest, I am not a big fan of many--if any trucks. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't want to rain on your parade, so if it something YOU like, thats all that matters, and my opinion is rendered moot :]

Car Shopping with my Aunt
I was going to suggest possibly a Forester, but that sits 0.6 inches lower. Seems like she is not limiting her options and trying a few things out :]. Hopefully she can find a vehicle that fits her needs.

Chevy Shows Malibu, Announces Fairfax Investment
I hate to deviate for a moment, but I was looking at the Honda website and the Accord VP comes with 2 speakers standard. To get the 2 extra rear speakers it costs an extra $49. "Value" pffft. [/deviation]

My one major complaint with the intrepid thus far
Here's how I figure my mileage: miles on trip computer / gallons put into car = mileage Last fill-up: 302.2 miles / 13.56 gallons = 22.28 mpg It's usually higher, but I've been warming up my car in the morning.
