I live in the country down a quarter mile long driveway and I would not be able to get to work some days if it was not for my Explorer. I work in healthcare and there is no shortage of sick people. If I don't make it in for my shift then everybody works short or somebody works a double. Not a good situation. I wish I had a Subaru, but the nearest dealership is more than 60 miles away. Not too practical when you need service and work full time. Right now I can't afford a hybrid no matter how much I drool over them. One kid in college and another one going in another year....I will probably drive the Explorer for at least 5 more years. Sigh.
