Thanks to all who have replied to me about their choice of cars.
Interestingly enough, many recommended vehicles I already had under
consideration- great minds think alike!

The largest number of respondants mentioned Subaru Wagons- from used early
'80s models up to the currently popular Outback.

On the small pickup side, quite a few mentioned the Ford Ranger.

I'm currently leaning toward the Ranger. Less than two months ago I bought
an old Nissan Pickup to haul dirt, lumber, etc. Now that I'm looking at a
car payment, I can't afford to carry insurance on two vehicles, but I still
want to be able to haul stuff. So a small pickup appeals to me. Toyotas are
nice too, but appear to be more expensive (remember when Japanese cars were
cheap?).

It's going to be another two weeks at least before I buy, so if any other
suggestions, send them my way.

Happy bird watching,
