And there it is folks - Kelu has become a fan of the VAG.  It only took 43 years!  But, he is a fan for life.
Not 43 yet!!! and definitely not fan for life ... Porsche is Porsche unless is a different car camouflaged in Porsche's clothing.

So what your saying is - the Cayman is just a Beetle in skinny jeans?

Even when taken out of context that is true.

Can anything I've ever said actually be taken out of context?

All these options give me hives.

But I vote Cayman, as I believe that to be perhaps the prettiest car Porsche has made in an age.

Hives?  Why for?  I get that SUVs are not everyones cup-o-tea, but some of the performance numbers for some of these cars are solid.  I could lay waste to your new (old) 4 cyl Mustang with any of them :)  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

We use a Ford Escape for the Hound Hauler, groceries and bad weather.

So what did you finally get?

If you haven't found something yet I hear Tiger has a demonstration Genesis with some slight blemishes he could probably get you a deal.  I hear the legroom is kind of lacking but then I am a little taller than you so it may not matter.

I don?t need Tigers crunchy car...  someone decided to make our car look like his.
Chevy Tahoe driver forgot to pay attention as the freeway came to a stop. Aimee was driving and we had the puppies with us. He his us at about 30 mph as we were nearly stopped. To his credit, he saved our lives by swerving left at the last second and not hitting us square on. He continued on through us in to the car in front of us. Aimee handled it amazing. Dogs are both good from what we can tell and no one needed an ambulance.

Can?t seem to add a pic right now.

Everyone is OK, that's what matters.

The damages looks like that's going to be expensive to fix.  What year was that one?

2004. 135k miles, but in really great shape. Sucks. We were going to hang on to this as a third car for a long time.

Now about the car ... well, you can do better with the next one if it will be the case ;)

We are narrowing it down.
Due to our driveway, we can not get a sedan / wagon / coupe. We tried. They all scrape. No sense getting a nice car and beating it up everyday.
So- SUV it will be.

List:
SQ5
Macan S or turbo
Cayenne S E-hybrid
GLC / GLE AMG

We eliminated the F Pace after driving it.

Any other thoughts along those lines?

If you moved to a place with a driveway instead of a ramp, your choices would open up.

Can't help you with your choices, they are all out of my pay range.  On a fixed income :)

Could be worse his neighbor has like a 25+ ft straight drop off in her back yard.  You can't even play Frisbee with the dogs back there.

I think there might be more elevation change in his driveway then there is in the entire town where I live.

Did the insurance buy you a new car yet?

Get one of these and have it converted to electric.  It should be able to handle your driveway.
