Ninnymuggins...

ok, so the ninnymuggins thing has nothing to do with the post...it is simply a reaction to watching elf last night. funny movie! so i am getting pretty sick of not having my own car, but the upside is that i am learning to forget my absolute aversion to cabs. this is especially important when drinking...it has been so easy to get around with cabs that i have decided never to drive after drinking ever again! there is just no point! but i beseech you all--input on what kind of car i should buy? i want a 4runner, but the new ones are rather expensive (yes i want new), the element (honda) is a point of interest as well because of the sheer functionality of the car. if anyone is reading this and has one of these cars or a better idea, i would love to hear all about it! my peramiters are 4wd and big enough for the housing of my bass rig (gk 4x10, eden 1x15 and 6space skb rack) and my wife at the same time. i live in the northwest, so there is the rainy season, followed by the rainy season--no open tops. dont forget what an ogre i am as well...three feet worth of shoulders come in handy in a lot of situations, but fitting comfortably into a smaller car is not one of them! now i am off to drink a whole bottle of syrup in one go. cheers!
