Thanks guys.

I think I made up my mind today. Running an errand took me past walmart, and as I'm approach their turn I remembered that I wanted to get a new garbage can to put in the TRUCK. (I spend too much time in my car, and if I let it the space in front of the passenger seat becomes unlivable in a couple weeks.)

As much as I like the Outbacks, two years in Vermont is a LOT of salt on the underside, and the milage is higher. Stopped at the dealership, they weren't able to negotiate much lower on price. And everyone has said that the VWs are pricey to fix, so...

Wow. I'll be able to see over annoying big pickups in parking lots. This is kind of a novel idea for me. *laughs*
