scratch my above post - daily is an 07 escape now :rockon:
Just spotted this. You didn't go green on the Escape did you?

My daily is owned by the state of Washington \"06\" Escape Hybrid :blink: . After driving close to 100 miles every day I don't feel much like driving my own car. When I do go somewhere, it's a choice between \"01\" Taurus, \"98\" F150, \"93\" caravan or \"69\" beetle.

Probably handles better than the Hybrid too. There is about 300 pounds of battery in the back of it. :(

Not sure it's a \"beater\", but daily ride is a 2006 Volvo V50. All wheel drive, 218hp, 6 speed manual, kinda fun, for a new car.

Obviously you haven't seen my Visa statement lately and saw that my other bmw sold.

Nice try though. You get an A for effort and carry out....

I keep on hearing from my pocketbook I'll be broke by christmas :(

And anyways the last time I checked the above aformentioned car isn't a  motorcycle.

Love it. I would highly recomend them to anyone. Off road the thing is a beast stock. People who just drive them around town and commute with them will not like them, it's not where they shine.

Haven't had a chance to test this new 3 series in the snow yet. I put snowies on the other one and it did great! So we will see. I guess it all depends on how much I plow!
