    The cars that drive me.....

    By desertnurse  |  Posted September 16, 2008  |  Augusta, Idaho
     

    2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V6 4x4 - 2000 Toyota Solara 4 Cylinder

     

    I purchased the Jeep a little over 2 years ago used with 28k on it.  I purchased it because going home (central Idaho) generally means driving over dirt roads and in the winter, snow packed roads.  I plan to live there eventually and need the options the vehicle offers.  Although I LOATHE 80+ dollars it takes to fill it up, there was NO WAY I could have forecast the idiocracy behind the gas inflation.

     

    We recently purchased the Solara due  to the theft of our 2008 Toyota Camry.  Although the Solara does well on gas - it was NOTHING compared to the 35+ mpg that the Camry got.  The investigation is still pending on the Camry and we couldn't wait for the settlement to buy a new car.
