Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
At that point you would almost certainly be better off getting a new (for you) car.
I dunno, depends on the condition of the rest of the car. If everything else is working well, a car with a $3,000 new engine might be better than a $3,000 used car (plus taxes). A $3,000 dollar used car is probably going to need a repair (or maintenance) or two pretty soon. If you have the budget to buy a more expensive used car, then it's probably time to do it.
JZ, if you could get together a down payment (parental or sibling loan?) getting a newer, really reliable car would be so much better long-term, and honestly save money. And Toyota dealers, especially, seem to be willing to make deals right now - I looked locally and Toyota had some 60-month, 0% car loans available.
Ahem. I was also married before 25.
Me too. Or three!
Caltrain. There's Caltrain. Phew. (Does it suck?)

I believe the schedule's not great. I'll ask E at work for the full skinny.
I think the schedule is somewhat limited, but my DH used it for a year and a half and never had a problem.
I am annoyed because I can't get the screens in two of my living room windows all the way down. They keep coming out of the tracks, and even so, I can't figure out why I can't just shove them down! I guess they are down far enough that the cat won't jump out (unlikely anyway, I guess, but my cat is dumb), but still bugs could fly in. Do not want.
Bookmarked, tommy, thanks.
The thing is that until now, this car has been pretty sturdy and reliable and altogether good. Almost all the crazy costs have been because of stupid non-mechanical stuff - tickets we couldn't pay off, the busted window, the asshole who put a nail in our tire. As a car, it's been pretty good (also a good 10-15 mpg better than the last car, which has been fantastic), and if this is fixable it'll probably last another couple of years.
Also, I accidentally left my air conditioner in New York, so I guess I'd better get a new one soon, before it actually gets hot, huh? OY.
