Did I just buy an SUV?

I didn't mean to. I am an environmentalist. Really. But before I knew it, there it was, in front of my house.

    You should have bought a honda fit silly.

    I'm 6'4", 6'5" with shoes. A lot of my height is in my torso so you can imagine that I dislike a lot of cars. Oddly, the smaller the car, the more room I usually get. *

    The fit is the TARDIS of cars. It truly is bigger on the inside.

    I put my SNOWBLOWER in my Fit and did so with the back hatch FULLY closed after I ran over the neighbor's frozen newspaper and had to take it in.

    Snowblower repair guy couldn't believe his eyes.

    Enjoy your SUV when gas goes back up you green poser you.

    *Worst car for space for me: Hummer H2. (Hotel courtesy vehicle. - Kept hitting my head on the ceiling part that hangs down.)
