Wait a minute! How can a Democratic candidate for NYs state Legislature be an "insurgent"? Last time I looked the Dems had a pretty good hold on the Legislature 'round here!

Ahh.... I guess only the Dems buy Nissans then. I've only met Dems here in Albany. What's Pataki anyway?

Let's all get rid of him before he screws things up more.

I knew what he is... I was joking.
I may be out of the loop, but not that far!

The Mini is cool. I will definitely look closer at them when I want to replace my 240SX.

As to SUVs, they may be big, but my Pathfinder is great for hauling 3 kids, my wife, our dog, our gear and me through 2 feet of snow down the back country mountain roads we have to travel on.

-Although I must admit that I have seen more Hummers in White Plains, NY (just N of NYC) than I have seen anywhere else!

We will probably replace our Pathfinder and our truck with a Full sized Nissan crew cab P/U when they come out next Fall (they are going to be powered by a V8, as big as the F series Fords, made in the US, and I'll be able to put my Mini in the bed when I get one ).

I want a Mini.

'course I also want a PT Cruiser, or a VW New Beetle, or a BMW M3, or at the very least a car I can always rely on.

I want a mini too.
But why would you want a PT Cruiser? they're notroiusly (Sic?) unsafe and have had quite a few recalls (including one where the instrument panel spontaneusly loses power)...sounds like a wonderful car...I do agree it looks pretty slick but from a practicality stand-point I am a bit more than reluctant...I personally stay away from all N. American made cars...especiall Pontiac and the whatnot.

I know what you mean...that's why I've always loved the new Mini..it has the best of all worlds...it's sleek...safe...god gas mileage and has a not "THAT" bad price either...for what you get at least.

I live in White Plains and have seen very few (maybe 1 or 2) Hummers here. Where are they hiding?

I don't know White Plains well enough to tell you exactly. Downtown? We used to go there a couple of times a year for high end craft shows (we wuz glassblowin' fools in our youth) and we used to walk from where the show was, to grab something to eat, and it seemed like every 7th car we saw was a Hummer driven by a 5' tall "soccer mom".
This was over four years ago, so things might have changed. They're all probably driving Acura MDXs and BMW X5s now.
