So I drove my Dad's car
from the street to the driveway. I don't think I'd take it any farther if you paid me. I hate the way the shifter's up by the steering wheel. Seriously, what's the advantage to that? Ugh.

3. He has a Lincoln
I found it really ungainly. I will never complain about my Saturn's steering again.

6. Yeah, I was like note to self: I do not want a ginormous sedan
I <3 my wagon but that thing would take some serious getting used to. Not that I want a leather seated gasshog anyhow, but *ugh.*

8. I live in Philadelphia so every car I purchase I must always
think "Ok, can I manuever this sucker into the smallest spot (parallel park) at the drop of a hat?" Lincoln you could NEVER park downtown. Strictly a suburban car. Saturn is the perfect urban car too (like my honda)

2. For a bench seat, the lever is out of the way.
For seating three across-type purposes. I like my bucket seats myself...

10. See folks, this is why wagons are so great
Buckets in front, heaven in the back. Life is good.

Not that I'd know. :(

5. I feel the same way when I get behind my parents' Surburban
from my Honda. I never know where my back two corners really are.
