My sister lived in Yorkton for a while, nice place, an upgrade from living in Regina anyway.

I had seen the article about the Cummins Nissan. It looks promising but I am not holding my breath.

I wish I could wait but it's to the point where my current vehicle isn't worth keeping any more.

Tailpipe is gone, transmission has issues, engine is not running properly, needs new brakes, shocks are blown (again), it won't hold an alignment, burns more gas than a 1/2 ton and is about 2 inches too short to sleep in anyway.

I like going on long trips. it is looking like New Mexico is a possibility this fall but I don't trust my vehicle to get there or back anymore.

Right now I am really hopping that a CX-5 will work for me. I need to know the internal dimensions to know if it is a good fit but that kind of fuel economy with AWD and a *suposedly* fun drive is pretty alluring. If I could get the european diesel model I would be all smiles but don't think I can wait another year or two.
