Sigh. My car has been on its last leg (the other three had alredy fallen off I think) for awhile. They wanted $2000 to fix it, I said forget it. So I went tonight and bought a red Kia Rio. Its small but super fuel efficient

Nice car.I also like the color.Although the one nice thing about a silver car is that it does not seem to show the salt as much in the winter.Then again we have dark green and that always shows the salt.I am sure you will enjoy your new car and it will be great not having to worry if you have t call the auto club or not.

Congrats on the new vehicle.....I have a friend w/an Escort & hers just died last Fri & she's started looking around for a new car too. But at some point, as u have discovered it costs more to repair the old vehicle vs. a new one (the repair = down payment on new).


Remember this is an asset, not like blowing $$ on a vacation where at the end all u have is pics & great memories ;-) And come winter u'll be glad u don't have to worry about ur car too!!
