    Well, yea, but people get offended when I mention I don't want them, so I go with the average.

      Has she daily driven a truck of that size? It get's old pretty quick, and any of those trucks will be like a monster truck compared to the mini..

        So he should sell/trade the mini for F350 or whatever, and then when she gets tired of the gas mileage/size/whatever, get a cheap volvo wagon and keep the truck for towing. net win.

            I've got more meaningful reasons than just racecars, but yea, different priorities. Some people are meant to be parents, some aren't. No harm in that.

              Anyone know of a place to get good deals on snow tires, or have a set of snow tires? I am looking for 185/65/14's but, others close to that are good also.

                Keep browsing CL, also search "185/65/14 snow" on Google Shopping, the best price I could find was about $303 shipped brand new.

                              Never understood the point of haldex. The XC70 has something similar, no me gusta.

                                A pre-primed system that can predict when to send torque to each axle, requires no slipping before working, and can send 100% power to the front or rear = way better then any other awd for a "drivers" car.
