More car fun

[dancerjodi]

So 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).

Saturn!

Do NOT take my engine problems as any kind of CAR problem, not putting oil in for over 10,000 will do it to any car (long story, not precisely my fault, I still say I had a leak.)
I love love LOVE my car. Nice size, lots of power, and I abuse it like it's a slave.
It so is my little bitch, leather and all. *grin*
Do test drive whatever you like, and don't let price make ALL the decision for you, you need to be happy and content, and you're already settling since you're not getting your "dream" car.
And your big hair.
