[NSRCA-discussion] Small Car - 2 m plane hauling

[Snaproll4 at aol.com]

Jim,
 
      I have the Grand Caravan.  Two 2 meter  planes are not a problem even 
with a tent, chair and extra tool boxes.  I  never thought that I would drive a 
mini van, but it is actually a pretty nice  vehicle to drive all the time.  
However,  the kids I work with call it  the " loser cruiser".  It's not real 
sexy,  but you get to haul  stuff from Home Depot too.  Highway mileage is 26 
with the A/C on.   It's a better value than the Town and Country(but not as 
nice).
 
Steve

Hi  Guys, 
I commute about 75 miles a day,  then do about 100 miles of driving a weekend 
for practice so I am on the road  a lot.  I am thinking to down sizing one of 
my cars.  At this point,  I’m thinking about these three: 
    1.  Scion XB, 28, hwy  mileage  
    2.  Honda Fit, 34, hwy  mileage  
    3.  Chevy HHR, 30 , hwy  mileage  
    4.  $ these around  $16,000 
Here is a nice website that allows  you to do car by car comparisons.

OR – is something like the Dodge  Grand Caravan the way do go, and that is 
the biggest bang for the buck?    
Any ideas would be great.    
Thanks, 
Jim
