Very much. Not at all. A camping trip. A shooting expedition. A movie premier. A track day. Only practical people. I want to look rich. I want to make the highway patrol pee itself. A CTS wagon. A Jag shooting brake.
An E-Class estate. See our guide to car reliability. Whether buying new or used, it is important to do a little homework to choose a good model and to follow that up with effective negotiation.

Best choice: Midsized SUV If your family auto occasionally needs to carry more than five people, a three-row midsized SUV, such as the Ascent, Highlander, or Honda Pilot, becomes the clear choice because it can seat up to eight people.
Compact pickups have room only for five, and the rear seats are more cramped and not as comfortable as the SUV's. The Ridgeline is easier to get into than other pickups, but entry is still not as simple as in most SUVs, especially getting into the backseat.

If I had the chance, coast to coast, but I'm too busy! The golf course parking lot at my Country Club. Outside of the local Ethan Allen store. In the elementary school pick-up line. As I'm driving through my cow pasture. Saving the planet and looking cool while doing so.
Getting the most out of an economic vehicle. Utilizing a fine car for recreational purposes. Satisfying a midlife crisis, but also hauling stuff. At least six soups. Four soups should do the trick. Only one soup, actually, that might even be too high. Until flying cars become a real thing. Until everything breaks on it. Until my teenage daughter needs a car. Until the repo man decides to take it. Post an update on LinkedIn stating nothing but "blessed". Do a selfie for Facebook with the caption "fresh".
Send a tweet stating the uncertainty of my vehicle selection. Refrain from posting anything and call my mom instead. Anywhere on the interstate that has an incredibly narrow shoulder. I'm not planning on breaking down, ever.
