Still Favored Above Most Weekly Test Vehicles

Another two weeks, or so, a total of 1,729 miles is on the odometer, and were still smitten with our long-term Mitsubishi Endeavor Limited.

So far so good... without even a hiccup from the SUVs mechanicals and all of its electronics working perfectly.

Mileage: 1,160 miles

Trevor: Another trip to Ikea, but this time the load wasnt as cumbersome as the four desks and monstrous bookcases I had to transport last time, if not any less expensive. I should buy shares in the place with all that Jennifer and I have spent there in the last year alone. I think that investing in Mitsubishi might be a better long-term bet, however, as the stock price is way down and the companys core products are truly excellent.
