Looks really nice - your wife is lucky! And your situation more than allows for one (not that you own an explanation) Put some nice wheels on that thing lol.

Why do I have my 8? My husband bought it for me because it's what I wanted, not what he wanted me to have.... We looked at the Z4, Eclipse Spyder, Boxter, among others, but I liked the 8 the best, forget gas mileage, and the fact I didn't have a clue as to what a rotary engine was. Same principal applies here. Frankcastle you are a good man for buying your wife what she wants, whether you get 10 mpg or 30.

Sure is a great time to buy an SUV. Did you have dealers fighting over your dollars or what??
It's nice, fits the bill for what you need and - most importantly - keeps the missus happy. Well done, sir!
That said . . . ditched that beefy, kick *** 150 for an expedition?? ewww. Women*, right? Can't live with 'em - pass the beer nuts. lol.
*(excluding mine, of course - Love you Honey!)

We went from a large SUV to a 2008 Mazda Tribute 4cyl, Going from large to this size was an easy transition for my wife. She loves the Tribute and burning regular gas is great in these times. We have already taken it on a trip and is easy to drive and quite comfortable. We have bought all types of Mzdas over the years with one exception and have done quite well with reliability and satifaction.
929 - 3 - 626's, RX-8 and Tribute.

"1. we need a big truck that can pull a boat"
ok, good reason...but that boat uses a 2 stroke engine i suppose and creates more pollution in one day than that truck does in a month.
"2. we have kids and it is a bitch to go anywhere with all the **** that kids require"
kids should require very little, they are small adults after all. unless spoiled.
"3. we go up 3 times a year to the mountains so we needed a4x4."
I'd be more lenient if it weren't american

Altair, kids are little people that require strollers and car seats..or at least car seats...changes of clothes for messes, which require something to carry them in, be it a back pack or diaper bag. These things are not spoilers, they are the necessities that parents need to help ease a bit of the nerve wrecking responsibilities that children bring.
OP did I leave anything out?? LOL

and btw i'm not bashing anyone's character here. I'm just generally giving my opinion which is backed by common sense and practicality. Fact is, in America especially, people waste continually, and i myself too when i was more ignorant. However, look at it... it's large, wasteful, and can be replaced by something more efficient, more practical, and probably less expensive. Yes, its anyone's choice to get whatever they want. But come on, some things are just filled with idiocracy.

performance road car versus sport utility vehicle. case in point, rx8: efficient street driven performance car, Expedition: inefficient street driven suv.
I've known a family which has 14 kids. A couple of them are twins. Horny Bastards!! Crazy! lol

The 8 is not an efficient sports car, a lotus elise is a efficient sports car 30+ mpg's (if a efficient sports car is possible). Also, you do realize that you are comparing a sports car to an suv in terms of efficiency, since when were either of them known for being efficient ?!?
Nice looking cars, good choice with black.

This has to be the first time I have ever heard someone call our cars efficient.
