Solution...go cram into a cobalt or a g6 then remember what you had for space and then repeat as necessary.

Personally I love my car..but I wouldnt mind a SRT-8 Charger, but until that day comes, the bonne will live on.

That only solves so much But that does make the car much more livable froma handling stand point. It'* far from perfect, but it does ok for such a large sized car.

Well I certainly wouldn't get rid of her for something smaller. Cobalt is an obvious NO WAY, but I did just scope out the interior room in the G6 last week. Back seat is a bit cramped.

But after driving the F350 all day then the Jeep this evening, my heart kinda ached when I parked next to the Bonne, I guess absence really does make the heart grow fonder.
I guess I don't get bored in the "I want to get rid of" way as much as I do in the "I need a break from" sort of way.
