Proud owner of a '99 Sportage

Fox — 3/8/2007 4:30:53 AM (archived)

Bought it privately from its second owner, a month ago. Now dubbed "Firefly" - besides the obvious fannish connection, it's bottle-green and vaguely bug-shaped. It's the perfect size for a small guy like me, and it gets 26 mpg on my commute, which is half stop-and-go, half 70+ mph, all on highways.
