Replying to: blueiedgod (Aug 31, 2009 9:02 am) I actually had to drive one of those Macks for a while. I was driving for a company that had a nice, late model Nissan cabover boom truck with a sunroof/roof vent thing, a 5 spd. and am/fm. For some reason they wanted to move that truck upstate NY, out of the city.   I had to go upstate and pick up the "other" truck. It was a Mack conventional about 10-15 years old and like 300K plus on it. It had been a tractor and was converted to a dump body. It had an really ugly brown job on it, no seat belts, no radio, and the doors didn't lock.   It was parked on a little hill, on the grass, nose up. I had to get in and pull it out. It had those big mirrors on each fender. When you started it up, everything shook. I think it was the first time I was ever scared of a vehicle! Needless to say, I was really earning my money driving that piece of crap around.
#15 of 17 Did this Q begin when ... by saabgirl Sep 04, 2009 (6:21 pm)
Honda surveyed women who had test driven the old-style, tire on the back door, CR-V and found that women were looking for something wth a little more flair? So the new iteration looks a heckuva lot like the more upscale SUVs, only with a 4-cylinder up front. So, in general, are high-design vehicles women's cars?   My hubby's opinion is that manufacturers have learned that wives have veto power in almost all family car decisions, so the old boxy design is out of favor, even though it has plenty of functionality. He has no explanation for the growing popularity of the grinning cartoon-fish front-end treatment. Also, he doesn't claim that his explanation holds for the Mini, which he regards as a Chick Car, because it's excessively cute.

I bought this CR-V without any input from my wife, so her supposed "veto" power did not come into it. I decided I liked the CR-V and picked it myself, she never even saw it until she came home from work and it was parked in our driveway. She loves it as much as I do though, but I did get the metallic tea green color because I knew green was her favorite color. Replies to this message: chuckfromli (Sep 30, 2009 3:51 pm)

Replying to: johnray (Sep 30, 2009 10:25 am) I bought mine without any input from the ball and chain either. But then ,it's my car, not hers.   It's strictly a practical purchase. I like the look of the Escape more, but not their resale value or reliability.
