Yeah, it's not your fault. My wife seriously considered a Honda Element before we bought her Matrix. Women just don't seem bothered by questionable styling when it comes to vehicles. It was a relief when she settled on the Matrix, let me tell you!

She didn't buy it,the son-inlaw did.She thought they were going out to look at cars,they got to the dealership,and as they were walking past it,he handed her the keys.It's registered as a company car?not sure what it is.He owns two bra shops,now cut that out,this is bad enough,and she does do some driving around for the shops,picking up stock.
Oh why did I start this threadSomeone take the shovel away from me,this hole is deep enough
But I must hand it to him on the haggle,he had seen it advertised a few weeks ago for 24K,he got it for 17K.New ones run at 35K up here,are they allowed to still make them

Lotsie,

You try to raise them the right way and impart proper values. But eventually you have to cut them loose and let them make their own mistakes. Of course, what do they do? They buy an Aztek!!!

I think a contingency provision in the will is in order. She is still your kid, man!!! It's not too late! You can still set her staight!

Don't worry about it. It's an fine fine thread we use in this product. Just thought of two son-in-law sayings: "Bra shops are the foundation of our country." "Such a visible car is necessary to improve the exposure of our company's product."

Oh, what terrible shame. I was forced to drive an Aztek once while I was on a trip to San Jose for business. Never spent so much after hours time in the hotel in my life. Those cars are so hideous, it's embarrassing that they are even produced, let alone that anyone would buy such a butt ugly car.

The ASSteks have been discountinued by GM and only its other sibling, the Buick Rendezvous remains. The Aztek uses the GM front wheel drive Minivan platform, so essentially those things are minivans under a "suv" body.

You can get used Azteks for next to nothing because they have virtually no resale value.

Lot, your inlaw could have bought a minivan and do much better with a more functional and better looking vehicle than the ASStek.

So what's the nickname of the car? Yellow Submarine?
