Don't forget the gun rack in the rear window.
Seriously, though, I met a lady who moved to the great midwest from somewhere on the east coast. On her first drive through the suburbs/countryside around town, she was terrified to see so many 4X4 pickups, most with gun racks and deer rifles.
Took her a couple of years to realize that she was MUCH MUCH safer around us old farmboys. Defending the honor of a lady is a high calling in the flyover states.

Seriously - if you're going to be living downtown and working at MUSC or Roper, you could get around with a bicycle and use her car when you need to get out of the city. It's easier than a car downtown and parking is free...

Bail on the hybrid... it's still a couple years away from truly mainstream
and you DON'T want to be in a fender-bender in that little guy...
Go for the Accord or even the Hyundai... great miles and easier maintenance

I thought about getting a hybrid too and the honda guy told me not to waste my time or money on one. The 2006 Civics get 30 city 40 highway with 150 HP. I plan on getting one of those in the spring. The LX model loaded is 17,500 with automatic transmission. Regardless of what you choose good luck on your car search

How 'bout a scooter?
It ain't so hard on those leedle Monkey Legs, and you can park it 'bout anywhere. Use the ol' lady's ride whenever you got passengers or go outta town.

I wouldn't get caught dead in it, but it's a huge step up the manliness ladder for you.

Hmmm...lets see - at the monent in the garage/driveway are:
1986 F250
1989 F150 w/ 3/4 ton suspension
1996 F150 w/ 3/4 ton suspension
1995 Blazer
1998 Avenger (the incredible dent-mobile)
1993 Sunbird (wife's work car)
1986 Sportster 1250
1986 Honda Rebel 450 (wife's bike)
I'm also in the process of buying a '86 (see a pattern?)
GMC 1-ton plow truck.
Makes it easier to tow the mobile home the next time Frank has to move.

Oh, please don't talk about moving...I'm in the process of building now, and I'm not at all looking forward to that project.
