Well, after 14 months and 45,120 miles, I decided the Juke was not what I needed in a vehicle.
1.6L GDI Turbo with 180hp (27mpg) in the smallest 'SUV' sold.... Turns out, it is even smaller than an VW GTI.
My wife was regularly giving me grief about not thinking the purchase through and not buying a sedan.
The dealership that did all the work (oil changes, etc) had a car on the lot that I had been looking at, and I decided it was a much better fit for me. I traded in the Juke for price that wasn't a total beating (still hurt) and worked them down a little on the price of the other car. I even got them to throw in floor mats.
2009 Maxima SV, fully loaded, 40k on the odo (26mpg):
CPO with warranty through 100k.

Now to why I'm saying good bye.
I didn't tell my wife that I was buying a car. She will find out in about 3 hours when I get home from work. The kicker is that we have been car shopping for her, as she drives a 14 year old jeep.
I'm still not decided if I will be sleeping on the couch for a while, and if it is going to be worth it.
I do know that I won't be out shooting for quite some time.
Wish me luck....
