28. HA!! At least SEVEN smart, cost-conscious, unostentatious Goobs...
...out there, driving Crown Vics. The Crown Vic is the preferred car of a HUGE number of police and taxi fleet managers.

It's comfortable to drive and be a passenger in on long drives, plenty of pickup when needed but a reasonable gas mileage for a big car, and Ford has got the engineering on that model DOWN. Those puppies last forEVER. Breeze through the 250K mark on the odo without a blink. They hardly ever need more than routine maintenance, but if they do, the model is so common and has been around substantially unchanged for so long that it's very easy to find good mechanics for it.

Of course, it's sort of the ultimate anti-hip car, being exactly the vehicle you'd imagine yer grandfather driving, but hey, smart is better than hip any day.

stodgily,
Bright

(so unhip she has to keep grabbing her trousers to keep em' from falling down...)
