[Phono-L] Vehicle?

I am on the verge of getting a new vehicle thought I'd ask the advice of Phono-L members since, like myself, you all have need to haul antique phonographs. I'd like to have cargo capacity to transport the typical Victrola (XVI), the typical Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph (C-250) as well the

I'm rather short, at 5.25 and rarely find an American vehicle that I can get a comfortable driving position in and still both reach the pedals and see over the hood while not being too close to the wheel. They are usually softer sprung and don't get the mileage I'm used to getting. For the first

Subaru Forester is my hearty recommendation. Mileage in the high 20s, carlike ride, and extremely durable. Hauls phonos like nobody's business. Sent from my iPhone -- Peter pjfra...@mac.com On Mar 7, 2010, at 11:46 AM, jim...@earthlink.net jim...@earthlink.net wrote: I am on the verge

Peter, I had that same dilemma a couple of years ago.When my Ford Taurus wagon died, I was looking for either another wagon, a minivan or a small SUV. I ended up getting a 3006 SuzukiForenza wagon. It may be small, but I can haul a VVVXI, or a VV Credenza, or an Edison C-250. It gets great
