Replying to: meateater (Jan 09, 2007 1:13 pm) There's no way thats a rental with 77k. Rental car companies dump their cars with less than 20k. They don't want to deal with an out of warranty car and they know the next buyer will want some warranty with their purchase. That might have been a fleet car, but most likely, it was sold to some traveling salesman or something. The outside rep for Cannondale used to go through a VW every year driving to all the bike shops.

Replying to: lilengineerboy (Jan 09, 2007 2:14 pm) http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=212411646 But that is not a rental either because it has too many miles as well. I can't find my unlimited Carfax password right now but I am pretty sure it is not a rental. And even if it is what is wrong with rentals? In my experience they get serviced better then private owner cars. Also you need to see when it was sold to figure out how many miles are too many miles. That could have been sold mid 2005 as a 2006 MY car so it would really only have about 15,000 miles a year. |

Replying to: zodiac2004 (Jan 09, 2007 7:22 am) HUD was, I belive, an option (maybe standard on the Ultra). I personally liked it on an SSEI Bonneville I once had. You can turn it off when desired. If it fails, there's no requirement that it be repaired. Unless you want a floaty ride, find one with the Grand Touring suspension option. I believe they are identifiable by a plaque on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. |

Replying to: dtownfb (Jan 10, 2007 11:03 am) I kept our son rear-facing until he was 2.5. It didn't prevent us from having conversations (even now that he's front-facing, I'm looking at the road most of the time), nor did it prevent me from pointing out trains, spectacular Christmas lights, cows, trucks, or anything else interesting/out of the ordinary.

Replying to: smittynyc (Jan 10, 2007 11:56 am) I'm sure your son was able to appreciate Dad pointing out a train (can't see where you are pointing). He was probably sitting there looking up at the ceiling trying to see the train. It probably took him to age 5 to realize a train is not a white puffy ball in the sky.  Seriously, either way the kids are safe and that is the important part. I know my kids appreciated being able to see where we were driving. Plus it was tons easier to load them into the car.

Replying to: dtownfb (Jan 10, 2007 12:37 pm) It is the most important part, and kids are certainly much safer in a front-facing seat than none at all. However, kids are safest sitting rearward as opposed to not, assuming they are in a properly sized and secured seat. Look at how few toddlers/infants die in car crashes in Europe, where children sit rearward until 5 or 6. Communicating with a rearward facing toddler really isn't that complicated -- "Wow, pretty waterfall on Daddy's side!", "Cool, check out that Excursion stretch limo on your left," etc. |
