well....i don't like the way it looks much either, but i've test driven one before, and it's VERY big on the inside (it's size would be good for my gf and the baby), and it's cheap all the way around. you can pick one up fully loaded for around 16k, and they start around 11k. it's great on gas mileage, monthly payments would be around 200-300/mo, insurance should be dirt cheap as well.

so yea....i'm not considering it based on looks, i'm considering based on cost to own.

another reason why i would like that, is because the jetta i was wanting, for an older car, isn't much cheaper than one of thsese. and alot of the jettas i've been finding have 65k + miles. so far, the one w/the most amount of miles has been 110k, and it was a 2001 model! I don't know how reliable that particular car is, or why the car would be wanting to get sold, etc. whereas a new car, i know exactly what kind of miles they are, and i know the entire maintenance history, cuz you know....i'll be doing the maintenance from day one.

Are you gonna change your sig after you'll buy the bus?

You can always get a second car later. A sporty one

lol......you guys are funny

i think imna have to call the city i live in to see if i can actually place the words "school bus" on the side. That would be freakin' awesome if i could . if i can't, then i'll put "short bus" like PJ suggested .

@ mainman: why not in yellow? it'll be easier to spot if in case it gets stolen.....but on the same token, it'll be easier to be seen by cops, but it's not like it can go very fast anyways

@ Partizan: yea.....i plan on getting another 8. hopefully i can get one by late 2008 or early 2009. If they're still in production, i'll get one new; if not, i'll have to get one used....
