Going happily in the handbasket
Mar 23, 2005We decided to buy the Honda Pilot. Picked it up from [Bay Ridge
Honda]( http://www.bayridgehonda.com/) tonight after work. Nice vehicle
and the dealer made the whole car buying experience a very good one.
When you are ready to part with your money
you want attention and you want a fair deal and we got both from them.
I do feel guilty about buying an SUV-ish thing that gets 22 mpg but our
[Labor Day smack up with the
Volkswagen](http://www.lonsteins.com/gallery/crash_vw_2004)
demonstrated that mass matters in a crash and the smaller vehicle loses.
The Pilot is classified as a wagon
but I parallel parked it tonight and it is definitely sized like a
truck. This will take some getting used to and so will pumping gas into
it.
