Buying a car!

Forgot how much I detest the average gold bracelet wearing used car dealer. Not personally, you understand, but as a trade....they make me feel like a turkey being measured up by the farmer just before Thanksgiving. Though supposedly in the same business, I am sure I project the same vibes.
The old Aerostar is getting long in the tooth (shiny in the treads?) and Brenda and I have been checking out new and used cars. Now that the Ren Faire has become deceased, we may not need a bigger van. Perhaps a truck to tow a trailer would be better? Perhaps a station wagon with a trailer hitch? Perhaps suck back and look at the actual usage a car will get in the next couple of years? (Like how can you know?)
Anyway, looks like it is keeping Brenda happily buried away in Lemon-aid and other publications. Here is what a vehicle buying site had to say about the role the sound of a horn plays in the buying process....

Ford Mondeo: "Strong and assertive"
Honda S200: "Penetrating and aggressive"
Mercedes CLK: "Tense and rough"
Renault Clio: "Very loud and quite aggressive"
Vauxhall Corsa: "Strong and piercing"
Audi TT Quatro: "Perhaps just a shade too quiet"
Citroën Xsara Picasso: "A fairly thin and weak sound"
Fiat Multipla: "Low loudness and pitch levels"
Renault Scenic: "Assertive without being shrill"
Renault Laguna: "A somewhat thin and weak sound"

Maybe pretty blue rubber tires is next......grin!
