Good points, I wish I could take my old Dakota, but that was the trade in for the Crossfire (lease), i guess snow could be a concern, but I can't imagine it being any worse than we have had around here the last couple days, I dont really have the option of taking another vehicle, unless I want to get 2.5 mpg in a 12 second 73 firebird, I will not be buying my crossfire when the lease is over so I could care less about mileage when I turn it i and. I figure if I get a flat I will just have a better story to tell when I get back. I will keep track of fuel milage, and see if I can squeeze the EPA's 28mpg out of it.. As far as budgeting goes, when I went in my dakota 2 years ago I spent like 270+ in fuel, so I am trying to figure out what the trip is going to cost, and I wish this car was good for picking up richer girls, all it seems to attract are chicks who assume I am wealthy (and not in college).
