Fantastic test drive

As I've mentioned before I'm starting the search for another car and I'm ready to test drive the cars that I like based on word-of-mouth and online searches. This weekend I was fortunate enough to experience a fantastic test drive in a Subaru Outback.

After a Q & A session with a kind gent this weekend, he suggested that I take his Outback for a spin around the Red River Gorge area. He talked me into it and OMG did it drive nice.

I'm planning to drive a Pontiac Vibe sometime this week, and I have to say, it better be sweet because it has some stiff competition. The bad thing is I really won't be able to compare apples to apples because driving in Lexington is a far cry from driving at the Gorge, but I'll have to make do.

However, another car has been suggested as a possibility. Sigh. So many cars... [see suggested car here.]

i love the idea of a gemcar, but it has some serious limitations. i suggest you consider a vehicle that has a "flexible" fuel tank, which means it can burn E85 fuel. its just alittle insurance in case the oil flow to the U.S. gets disrupted for some reason.
