Title: car
Post by: annettefayeroach on January 31, 2012, 09:55:54 am: what type of car do you have? I am looking into getting one for my son and I am in left field here. His father is not in the picture so no help there.

I have a toyota corolla, and it has yet to fail me. It gets great gas mileage too. They aren't speedy little sport cars, but they will do :)

I've had a Honda Civic, a Honda Accord and a Toyota Corolla. My next car will be a Honda Element. You can probably find him a good used model for a reasonable amount. :thumbsup:

They are safer because they are not perceived as speed cars. Also if you get the regular cab they will not have a car full of kids in the back seat. Also they can make extra money moving things. Good Luck. :)

Now here's a tip from a WISE MAN! :thumbsup:

Make it one of the little 4 cylinder trucks that gets terrific mileage and costs less to insure.
