New Olds Commuter Car

For about the last year, I've been looking for a new car so I can semi retire my truck to mostly truck duties. Looked at and test drove several nice rides, Passat TDI, Sonata, Challenger, yeah, I was all over the map. Even looked at an SRT Magnum wagon, I've always loved those, but my gut always turned, not yet, don't do it so I didn't. Then I saw this and pulled the trigger instantly, my gut didn't even flinch. It's on it's way to me now, coming from Missouri, I can't wait!

Always listen to your gut.

I think its time to take it out and feed it something nice - it's done real good.

The celebration will happen when I get it off the truck and immediately take it to Bob's Big Boy cruise night in Burbank which happens on every Friday.

Great choice!! Enjoy her to the fullest!
I am also in the process of looking for a new commuter car. And although I really like the Challenger and Charger, my gut feeling keeps pointing to a Vista Cruiser, which just might be here soon. Very stylish and functional vehicles.

Awesome choice, I've reverted back to that way of thinking also. My new car days are over. I like simplicity of the older cars and with the new ones running $30k+ you do really well with an old daily driver for a hell of a lot less and truly enjoy it. Congrats!

I was looking at a new truck actually but with an identical spec'd out truck to my pre emissions 2006 Dodge 5.9L Cummins being almost 10k more, well, you can figure it out, lol.

Thanks all, I can't wait to put it into service. I'll eventually put a Vintage Air ac unit in it.
