I Want SoulFollow

Just what are you implying?

So here's the story...

My husband (I'll call him Bob), much like all you pinheads, thought the Soul a dumb car. He didn't have a ton of reasons for his opinion since he'd not done any further research on the car than look at the picture on the computer that I showed him. But, it was a Kia, it was square, it was small, blah, blah, blah.

So, we go look at cars and the Soul is the first I test drive. We were both immediately floored at the amount of passenger space in this little car - it was especially noticeable to Bob who's a pretty big guy.

My first thoughts of the car upon actually meeting it were along the lines of, "it's too much car. I can go smaller and pick up a mile or two more per gallon".

We went on and looked at a Honda Fit (but didn't test drive one), a Ford Focus, and the Hyundai Accent. Apparently the Hyundai Elantra is so popular the dealers can't keep on in stock ...even for a test drive (I'm not sure I believe that).

After I crammed Bob into some of these other small cars, and convinced him that the Soul was not my first pick - he was sold on it.

The pluses of the Soul besides it's roominess were it's clearance (more than either my Mazda or Bob's Focus), a slightly longer wheelbase and larger tires than most compacts (16 inches).

Also, the Asylum was not the only internet place I sought car advice. Customer reviews from a number of generic car sights were mostly all huge raves about the car.

You're always cute when you don't know what the f'uck you're babbling about.

As far as the new car goes, congratulations, E. Now I know I don't have to worry about you killing me on the highway when you come to visit Minnesota.

Woohoo! Road Warrior stylee. I'll toss the ma deuce on the hood and we can play chicken.

West San Francisco is too long to put on the label, though.

That thanks to your thread title, I have a James Brown song stuck in my head just dying to get out?
