New Wheels

Well Voyager's journey is almost over. I like my car a lot but it's getting to a point to were repairing my car cost more than what my car is worth. My car had no idea what it was getting into when I bought. It took me from the Delta quadrant to the Alpha Quadrant pack with so much stuff friends didn't know if my car would be able to move. Once up here it went from the life of a city car to a car that was out exploring new worlds and traversing dirt and gravel roads full of potholes. Unlike the Millennium Falcon and the Buran, it wasn't an accident ending her journeys, but just plain old age just like Merkava. So that means time for a new car!

Well if everything goes as plan, next week I'll have a new car. My plan is to get the VW Passat GLS in a light silver green. Currently all I can find in that color are the V6 GLX or the 4Motion version. However, the car is not set in stone, I have to test drive some first.

So the cars I will be test driving Sunday are the VW Passat ('04-'05), VW Jetta (2007), Volvo S60 ('04-'05), Subaru Outback (2007), and the Mazda 6 (2007).

Right now in order of preference they are the Passat, S60, Jetta, Outback, and Mazda 6. It all comes down to what car feels right.

The Civic is out of the running. I don't like its high rpm engine and that car won't be able to handle the back country. The Accord looks too plain and the Toyotas have senior citizen written all over them.

Stay tune to next week and I'll reveal what car is sitting in my driveway!
