Dan208 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Ok, so for those that haven't seen my thread about hitting a deer, I'm in the market for a new vehicle. I need some suggestions for what out there is good and bad. I need something with more room than my Dakota, so either an SUV type vehicle or a 4 door truck. I'm thinking SUV, because I really want to have the space to put my new sub. I think the mounting depth is too much to fit it under the back seat of a truck. I can't find my tape measure, but it's a little shorter than a 20 oz plastic pop bottle. Anyway, I really like the Chevy HHR. They have good crash test ratings, which I'm big on since we have a child, and they get pretty good gas mileage. I work out of town, so I want something that's somewhat gas friendly. The trucks that I like are generally too much money and don't get very good gas mileage. I'm looking at spending around $18,000 at the most, but would prefer to spend a little less. Any other suggestions? The HHR is a strong contender. Please note that I'm not interested in looking "cool". I passed that stage a long time ago. I just need a good, dependable vehicle with space for family AND stereo.

wildbeast15 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I loved my mountaineer.. get one lol i should have not gotten rid of it.. Quote The set up your talking about would sound great in my Tahoe. Trade you my dog for it. He has one eye but that only makes for bad depth perception so hey so what if he is running into shit, look at it this way he is easy to sneak up ninja style on.

That's why I was so excited to get my truck paid off. Unfortunately, I need a dependable vehicle, and I'm the most mechanically uninclined person when it comes to fixing them.
