And before you ask, I'm fine.My poor car, however, isn't...  Take a look at the attached photos.  Can you believe it still runs?  I drove it home.Anyway, the paperworks is in the mail to collect on the insurance.  I've now doubt it'll be a total loss...  The car's almost 9 years old, and isn't worth more than about 5 or 6 grand.  At any rate, I'm now in the market for a used car to replace it with, and could use a few suggestions for models to look at.Where what I want:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It must seat at least four...  Me, my wife and two kids.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It have enough cargo space to carry two large dogs (a german shepherd and a collie) when needed.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It must be reliable and safe.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I need to be able to buy it used for roughly $5000 or less.</li> </ul>If possible, what I would like:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Good gas mileage is better.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It'd be nice if it was something that didn't make me look like a chump when I drove it.</li> </ul>Any ideas, guys?</blockquote>
