Gf has an '04 Accord, 4 cyl. As long as my Bonneville was, with about 2/3rds the room inside. Doesn't handle near as well as my daughter's college era Ford Escort - but those could out corner a lot of "sports cars". If I was looking at new cars, would be a choice between Dodge or Ford pickups; all modern cars are cramped and uncomfortable to me. I miss those big comfortable rolling sofas from the 70's and 80's.

The new car is an Accord, which have gotten bigger in recent years, but I do still enjoy driving my truck around. It's big, and it's comfortable. But, it gets 10 mpg, so it is not my cruising machine. All I have to do is drive the Midget around for a bit and then all cars seem a lot roomier!

Me and Ken have the same issue so no Ice cream for me.I'm really struggling with that one. One of my favorite reasons for a ride. I became addicted while riding with those dang GoldWingers in my younger years...speakin' of that it was the size of an Accord!

Thanks Doc. Daughter is concerned about the baby being in NICU, but baby is fine and the DRs. are not concerned at all. Keep thinking about your grandson at 3 lbs....Jeez..

They always put all premees in the NICU for the 1st couple days no matter how well they're developed. Good practice if ya ask me. They can watch'em real close in there.
