The size, she still is convinced that size matters when it comes to safety. It doesn't help that the local news keep emphasizing accidents with fatalities related to small cars in this area.

Only until you read about it in the paper do you get the part where the driver was doing 90mph in a 40 and not wearing a seatbelt.

Anyhow, although this vehicle will be driven by me, it is for her. Once she gets tired of the 4-runner, that will be traded in for some type of high mileage hybrid, which will revert to me ....

Anyhow, my new driving philosophy will transfer to my new ride and I too am curious to see how far I can push the Scion ...
