I am following the CC cruise.  I am very interested...would love to meet everyone, just not sure yet if we will be able to do two cruises within a few months that year.  Will have to wait and see, I guess.  I know that the good cabins will probably be taken if I wait, but, I have to do it that way right now.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />Shari I have a feeling at the end of the day we will buy another corolla..the one we have now.. is still in good condition.. but it is a 2001 model.. a great second car for us...<br /><br />as far as the group thing.. i really hope you can .. i just have this feeling....just got this feeling ...it will be special&#33;&#33;....<br /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br />Joey, I purchased a 2008 Corolla in January and am very happy with it.  I get anywhere from 32-36mpg IN THE CITY (automatic). I haven&#39;t used the air conditioning yet, so I won&#39;t be able to boast in a couple more weeks.<br /><br />It has less than 3000 miles total and hasn&#39;t been on the highway yet, so I can&#39;t tell you what the highway miles would be.  <br /><br />I went to edmunds.com and clicked on all of the features to get  the price ranges.  I called the dealership before I went there and told them, no haggling.  I know what I want and I know what I want to pay for it.  If you are willing to work with me, then I will drive out and buy the car.  Made for a very comfortable buying situation.<br /><br />As for the November group cruise, ... sure would love to join you guys.  Two super ships; two super itineraries.  However, with our big cruise in March, I won&#39;t be able to afford two.  Perhaps 2010.
