  2. Special Request
    Opportunity



    I would say that in the last 10 to 15 romances that I have read the hero/heroine drove an SUV. That's it. That's all that was said unless it was a beat up old car that was going to need repairs for which the hero would help acquire.

    The type of car a person drives can say a lot about that person and do it all in one sentence. Is the SUV new, shiny, expensive, old but in good repair, with all-wheel drive? Does the SUV sport a flamboyant color or have an especially rugged off-road capacity? Could it be just a cowboy SUV that's all hat and no cattle?

    Is there really a more efficient way to show a great deal about the hero/heroine in such a natural and non-intrusive way?

    Give it a try!

    Well, in your case, that would be a Stallion Utility Vanner. Ideal for pulling a heavy wagon -- if you don't have oxen. :)
