Although my Mazda 3 is a BAD car for colder weather. This morning it was 34 degrees out or so and the low tire pressure gauge came on the dashboard immediately as i was backing out of the carport. In cold weather (extreme temperature flux) the light can come on which it did. So after work i had to go to a gas station to add air in the tires (rear right tire was a bit low) and then the light turned off on it's own. I would HATE to live in a place with cold weather constantly as this is a bit of a peeve now that i have to face when weather is that cold in the early mornings with the car. Otherwise i would have had to take it to the car dealer for them to reset the computer so it would turn off on it's own. Not worth the hassle when i can fix it myself with just a little air in a low tire.

Alex - are you allowed sharp objects anymore? Or, did they remove your tongue? ;)

Volvo. Volvo. Volvo.

I need a car that runs on the blood of freshly squeezed kittens, with a baby seal fur interior, and a condor skull hood ornament. The exhaust note is the mournful cry of a manatee being mangled by a speedboat motor.

That's a controversial car.

Even better:

You're an asshole.

A-S-S-H-O-L-E

I can testify to the alarming capacity of a Volvo: Camping gear, Suitcases, Food, Beverages, International Luggage, Snacks, Daypacks, Souvenirs, Bears, Stoats, Pugs & ConeMonkeys. :snap:

Not to endorse Alex's suggestion that everyone who drives an SUV is a bad person--though they are, especially the women. And the men.--but for years, we did all our ski trips in a Honda Civic, chaining up as needed.

The smug highlight was driving up to Sugar Bowl in a blizard and nearly being smashed by someone's pickup spinning merrily down the hill.

Not to mention the automatic deployment of the sandwich tray when the brakes were properly applied
