So finally, after a ridiculously long service life, my Civic died, and gave me the opportunity to upgrade.

I ended up with a Dodge Nitro, and absolutely love it. This one is an '08, with 74k miles on it at the time I purchased it. I've had it for a few months now, enough time to wring it out. It's my first vehicle with 4wd capability, and I'm already digging that capability. I've already had a chance to use it during some of my other extracurricular activities.
