Louise, I drove a bus for years and love being up high. I'm 5'-2" also. I had a sidekick and don't mind going into a high car. I like that you just swing your legs out and don't have to get up to get out. easier on my back. and ilove the angle of the windshield, I hate sloping ones , like my dh's Honda.
Dwina, the winds are terrible here. the windchimes are slamming into the house and the wind is wooping loudly. I wonder about the deer across the street at the cemetery. poor little ones. the squirrels are scooting around looking for food. will give them food tomorrow. gave them apples today. tomorrow, bread and potato chips.
