Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Suzi, maybe start with Consumer Reports and see what vehicles in that category are highly rated?
it is deferred pain from my upper tooth that is mid-root canal.
The nerves in your mouth are kind of all crammed in close together, and that could be what's going on. Still blows, though.
Boo, Monday!
Zoysia, Hil?
I sure did think that said "assassin" for a moment, and was pretty impressed that you have a neighborhood assassin....
Paging the Ankh-Morpork Assassins' Guild...
If the Assassins Guild says no clotheslines, I'm not going to argue.
Subarus answer all your needs, and last forever with proper maintenance. Go Team Subaru.
Also, my favorite recent story of grazing a cow on the Common: [link]
That's what I'm talking about.
Not literally that story is what I had in mind, but that sort of thing.
I have a new car! My email just popped up with the notice that the car insurance has been changed to include the Jeep!
I hope Hubby left the Taurus on there, just in case something weird happens on the way home, where it will be parked until we send it to its final destination.
After that I'm stuck. Not sure how to narrow it down further.
May I suggest perusing my DH's reviews? [link]
Congrats, Connie!
Thanks Scrappy and noted Theo. I have others recommending Subarus, too.
My Mustang is a 2002 and doesn't have many bells or whistles. Now I want something fancy but not crazy. Probably a 4 door sedan that fits adults in the back seat.
Also waffling a bunch on whether I want an automatic or manual. I miss driving a standard and I want to be able to teach my kids how to drive a standard.
Of course, I'm looking at doing this much later this year. Trying to get something paid off first to make room for the new car payment.
We just paid cash for a '96 Jeep Cherokee, owned for the last 13 years by someone who drove it less than average. Allegedly a Jeep fan who supposedly took good care of it, though it has lots of leaks. It drive very nicely, it's got a 10-CD changer in it, and the body and interior are in good shape for a vehicle that old.
Too bad I can't do a funeral pyre for the Taurus, in recognition of the sturdy old tank it's been. We've wondered what piece of battle equipment it was in a previous life.
In re: Hubby's car, our "son" is having it looked at by a very good friend of his while Hubby's in the hospital this week, Said friend is also a member of the SCA, as Hubby and I and "son" are, so networking pays off again.
The universe likes to see me squirm, I guess.
