I spend my day driving from house to house or office to office as the case may be. I can’t imagine doing my job with a large SUV or even a full size car.
I drive an older Honda Civic and I love it for several reasons.
1. It’s a Honda so it is designed for dependability rather than power – I don’t need a lot of power to drive the streets of Grand Junction.

4. I love getting over 30 miles per gallon.
5. I can steer with my knee while I type text messages and emails to Rick. Ok, I’m kidding about this one…or am I?
