- Front or rear wheel drive? My daddy always taught me to go for the front! Around here we get too much snow for anything else... unless, of course, you get all wheel and/or 4 wheel!
- Car or truck or van? Wagon... none of the compact stuff.
- Fancy or utilitarian? is this a religious question? I'm confucious.
- Power or manual windows/locks? *on knees* power please! I can remember when my "Party mobile" went awry and I had to manually roll the window down just to get the door open (using the outside handle, grr!) even in the coldest of winters...
- Small econobox or giant luxo cruiser? say what?
- Factory or aftermarket radio? oh, I'm sure my speakers are aftermarket. Although they were in the vehicle when I bought it. However I did promptly go out and pimp it up with a cd changer/tape deck with removable faceplate controller system that I absolutely adore and can't imagine living without [my own private radio station]
- Lease or buy? buy, buy, buy... then you can sell, sell, sell
- Perform own maintenance or farm it out? "farm it out"? I have my daddy... and other paid [or not always paid] people who help me out
- Hi-test brand name or cheap-o fuel? around here I can guarantee that it all comes from the same trucks, so I go to where it's cheapest cpmared to where I am at the moment and how low [my tank] really is.
- Run-it-till-the-wheels-fall-off or a new one every two years? till the rims, doors, window handles, etc... are on their last sting
Leave it to a man to ask us a bunch of stuff we don't know much about... I find it utterly amusing that not only am I not the only one who's confused about some of these questions, but the questioner himself has yet to answer them!
