dancerjodiSo tonight B and I are going car shopping. My check engine light went on this morning and I stopped by the mechanic's (i.e. the good guy I normally bring my car to) to see if they could take a look at it today.
I told him what they fixed at the Ford Dealer last week and he said "that part has NOTHING to do with the antifreeze". They are swamped today so tomorrow I'll be leaving the car for them to shut off the check engine light (and make sure the car is still safe to drive).
I'd like a Subaru Forester though I don't know much about them and wasn't planning on spending that much $ (actually, I wasn't planning on spending any $ on a new car, grrrr). Dodge Stratus is another option and of course there is good ole reliable (and cheap) Saturn.
We shall see. I guess its good that B is selling his stock options this week (the little bit that he has). And now I'm off to check Edmunds.com (great, great car site).

Date: 2001-06-19 07:12 am (UTC)Tiggerette wound up with an accord at a pretty good price -- and a bigger engine than mine, but it doesn't 'feel' as fast. She was looking at the Subarus as well -- not sure why she stopped looking at them as much.
I dunno that I am gonna buy another honda next time myself -- I'm just not excited enough by them, although the most recent crop of preludes is tempting.
My brother just got a 96 nissan maxima, and it seems really great as well.
If only I could justify a camero....
