roopurt18 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Grats! But the million dollar question is.... Whats the MPG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgmyr Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 How about a pic too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 It takes Premium Unleaded. I may be able to use Unleaded, but that may result in performance loss, and/or poor running. City (mpg) 17 Highway (mpg) 25 - 27 I'll take a pic as soon as I get the car, but here is what it looks like on auto trader: It looks like there is some scratches near the bottom of the door, but those are just reflections.

ober Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Congrats... just got a new car myself... http://www.toyota.com/RAV4/ The one I got: Limited model 4WD 4 cylinder JBL Audio upgrade stocked with most of the upgrades Wasn't really looking for speed or power, but it's pretty quick for a SUV. Just needed a little more room than my previous car. Plus the 4WD will be nice for the winters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roopurt18 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 My uncle has a Rav4 and they got a bit of juice to them. I still remember the first year that they came out, they were a cross between a jeep and SUV and looked ridiculous. They look a lot better in recent years than they did then.

bilis_money Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Thanks bro for your answer. You must be very smart person to have that position. I'll pray for you for more success and good health. Just remember to remind your kids about bright lights and sun lights, so that they don't develop eye diseases when they reach the age of 50. Thanks again...

neylitalo Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Little Guy - I strongly suggest that you invest in a Chilton's manual. They are the best references I've ever seen, and cover nearly every single make and model of car produced during the years the book covers. They come with a price tag of about $100, but in my opinion, are well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Congrats everybody, I also just bought a new car. I'm fixing a big move up North, so I figured I'd get something with a little more stability than the minivan I was driving: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Freestyle Pretty nice so far. Also, since we just found out we're expecting #3, we've got the third row seats to fit everyone in it still Now, I've just got to find a cheapo to get me to and from work lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ober Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Freestyle Damn... I didn't know wiki had car info too! And I think I said this already unless this is the first time you're mentioning it... but congrats on #3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 And I think I said this already unless this is the first time you're mentioning it... but congrats on #3 Yea, it's actually the first time I mentioned it on here. We've had trouble with miscarriages in the past, so I haven't mentioned this one until we were a little further along. Thanks for the well wishes!

ober Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Ahh... my wife and I were lucky with the first. I hope the next ones go as well. Glad it all worked out for you in the end. Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy and a beautiful baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effigy Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I'm fixing a big move up North Where to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I'm fixing a big move up North Where to? At the risk of a total thread hijack (sorry to the OP), I'll go ahead and answer this one... I'm fixing to make the move from South Carolina to Buffalo, NY. Quite a move, but a great job situation has opened up that will allow my wife to stay home full time with the kids (she's working FT right now). We also have some of our closest friends that live there, and since she's from Canada, she loves the idea of being within an hour of the border, too.

ober Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Wow! That's awesome! And dude... you'll be right around the corner from me And it's always excellent when your wife can stay home with the kids. I'm so glad my wife is able to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
