Since I\u2019m obviously going to have          to keep the ride at least another five years I decided to take care of          it before rust started to happen. No, this isn\u2019t a rant about how rust          proofing\/undercoating places are virtually non-existent, it is a rant          brought on by my rental.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The difference in price between a full          sized rental and a subcompact was roughly $5\/day. Since I was only          renting for a day I took the full size. No, I didn\u2019t shop around. The          car rental place was literally the next parking lot over from the detail          place. I took it easy on my feet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> What I drove out of there with was a          Mazda 6. Granted it was quite a culture shock to once again sit with my          ass below my knees as so many cars seem to make you do these days. The          bigger culture shock was remembering the last car I had which made me          sit that way. It was a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Buick_Skyhawk\">1976            Buick Skyhawk Hatchback<\/a>. This car was considered a downsized          economy car back in the day. I had the distinct impression that I could          have fit my entire Mazda 6 rental car in the cabin of that vehicle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today we are being sold tiny little          vehicles and told they are \u201cfull sized\u201d. Subconsciously we know better,          but it still leaves us with a feeling of being screwed. Adding insult to          injury we are being sold \u201cfull sized\u201d cars which are supposed to get          nearly 40MPG and actually get around 20 once we own them. My 1976 Buick          Skyhawk got 20MPG whenever I kept my foot out of it and it was a much          bigger ride.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We need to demand a full sized ride which          is actually a full sized ride. Thankfully, we can still find many          premium examples for sale on eBay and AutoTrader. The one I will focus          on here is the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Buick_Roadmaster\">Buick            Roadmaster-Estate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is no wonder many of these cars are          still around. They were worth taking care of. I know of many people who          got 18-20MPG on a regular basis with these rides. They and their          competitors were the ultimate family vehicle. When you flipped the seats          down and opened the hatch you could slide a 4&#215;8 sheet of plywood\/drywall          in. It would lay flat AND you could close the hatch without worry. In an          era of HGTV and \u201cdo-it-yourself\u201d type home improvement I\u2019m not surprised          to see many of these land yachts on the road and in great, if not mint,          condition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This brings me to the following question.          Are we <em>ever<\/em> going to stand up and call a full sized car the          compact it really is? Are we ever going to have an automaker with the          guts to stick a modern power train in a shiny new Buick          Roadmaster-Estate <strong>that is the same size as the original<\/strong>          and NOT try to re-brand it as a cross over so they can charge $50K for          it?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Come on people. Chrysler and a few other          auto makers have V6 engines which crank out nearly 300hp without turbos.          We now have 5, 6 and 8 speed transmissions, not to mention CVTs which          can be hooked up to those engines and make a heavy car get nearly 30MPG          as advertised. (Yes, none of us will actually get over 20 but we can\u2019t          expect everything to change.) Today we have carbon fiber for structural          integrity and frames. CF is both lighter and stronger than steel in many          cases. People who need 7 plus passenger rides stand in line to buy Jeep          vehicles which get about 12MPG. How is it today\u2019s automakers          collectively believe nobody will flock to a station wagon that is the          same size as the Buick Roadmaster-Estate? As long as it can still drive          like a Buick and come fully loaded for under $30K it should feed a          starving market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the mean time, I turned in my Mazda 6          rental. I drove away in my Rendezvous. I fought off the temptation to          flip the rear seats down and put the Mazda in the back. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I took my Buick Rendezvous in to have it undercoated and rust proofed.
