  Zombie Dub, another thing is, this car looks great, inside and out and its comfortable. I drove a Toyota Corolla that was ugly, inside and out. The seats were tiny and stiff, no cushion. There were none of the features I got on this G6 base model: cruise control, satellite radio, onstar and so much more. This has leg room in the back, where the drab, gray toyota had little.

  The fact that you think getting less than 30mpg is 'great' is scary and a huge problem with the USA

  This isn't free way driving. On the Freeway, it can get close to 40 MPG. For a GM sedan, yes, 28.9 around town, stop and go, is fabulous. Some GM sedans get 17 MPG.

  I'm going to post more pictures tomorrow.

  ONe of my friends who drives me around, owns a 2006 G 6. I really liked it, but when I saw what good mpg hers gets, I was sold. There is a setting that shows how many mpg you're getting as you drive.

  if you were a lady and you were 55 and had $5,000 or less to spend on a used car, what would buy?

  top concerns: good mpg; reliable; in not having major issues like ball joints breaking, timing belts breaking, etc.

  not too expensive to maintain.

  I finally found a car and brought it home tonight. I paid cash for it. I drove it it 44 miles tonight and got 28.9 to the gallon. That was some around town and long stretches of country road driving.

  I made a new thread about the car. It's a 2009 Pontiac G6.

  Well, thank you, Tiger Suit. What a cute moniker, by the way.

  I am giddy. Now I can buy a watermelon, because I won't have to walk it home.

  Suggestions for car buying 2 3

  I bought a 2009, Pontiac G 6. My reasons for choosing a G 6: this car gets great miles per gallon. On the way home, town driving with long stretches of country road, I got 28.9 to the gallon. The car is attractive inside and out. The interior is black with some dark gray on the seats. It is comfortable, unlike the 2009 Toyota Corolla I drove. There is plenty of room in the backseat for my 6'1" tall grandson and his friend(s) or Andy. It's got lots of features I love including a place to plug in my charger and a mini USP cord. There's a whole lot more.

  I'll post more pictures tomorrow.

  There is hardly a scratch on it. The tires and breaks are almost new. The paint is green with metal fleck. Anything that looks like a ding or dint is just the reflection in the paint.

  I'm struck by how many men are in the crowds, protesting this child's rape. I think there may be more men than women.

  Thank you, Blondie. The statistics about reported rapes show a much lower number of rapes than the sensationalistic media leads us to believe.

  Compared to other developed and developing countries, incidence rates of rape per 100,000 people are quite low in India. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] The National Crime Records Bureau suggests a rape rate of 2 per 100,000 people. [ 3 ] [ 12 ] This compares to 8.1 rapes per 100,000 people in Western Europe, 14.7 per 100,000 in Latin America, 40.2 per 100,000 in Southern African region and 28.6 in the United States. [ 13 ]

  i have always been attracted to very confident and self-assured women.

  so sexy.

  example - a girl who may not look like a skinny stick model at the beach in a bikini and rocking it.
