Is preventive a different word, or not a word at all?
Preventive is a word. Preventative is not a word. Preventative makes the baby Jesus cry.
-Oh well, elections have consequences and this one has destroyed my beloved country.
No, that was the two elections before this one.
Clark Howard usually recommends used cars, because of the way the value of a car drops precipitously as you drive off the lot. The other day, however, he was talking about its being a completely buyers' market for new cars right now.
For the last 23 years, I have driven small Nissan pickups. I'm in the 10th year of the second one.

I love Ginger.
I could care less about preventative.
Alright. Whom care's about english any way?
I know this is a much more complicated question than this, but am I better off buying a decent used car or a cheapcheapcheap new car?
My first few vehicles were cheap used cars. They lasted about as long as the loan. My current vehicle is a used great car, and the loan is paid off, and it's still going strong (knocks wood). I would say go for a low mile used car. Take it to a dealership for that make, and have a mechanic go over it with a fine tooth comb and get a list of what's wrong. If it's a small list, use it to haggle the price down. If it's a long list, use it to walk away.

I e-mailed her and asked her not to send me any more political e-mails.
I think this is the perfect middle path. You're cutting off the thing that makes you unhappy but not being combative. If she takes it as a challenge, that's her problem. You shouldn't have to suffer these things just to -- what? Is she under the illusion that you agree with her, or has she just not thought about it?
What about Carmax? Do we trust them?

I had a great experience at Carmax when I bought my Protege there in 2001. It was a '99 and had 9,000 miles on it so practically brand new. It's still pretty much (stupid check engine light and hoopty falling apart steering wheel cover) going strong! knock wood!
I loved that I didn't have to haggle AT ALL.
