Laura, is this a job he's likely to keep into the winter and beyond? It may be a good idea to get a car that does well in the snow, preferably FWD. The best car I ever had was a Subaru Forester, which had AWD. You're not bulletproof, but the drive was sensitive enough to increase power so you hugged the road just a little better -- and you never got stuck parked in a snow bank.
I miss my Subaru. sigh.
Subarus are awesome. My sister had well over 300,000 on hers before it totally rusted out. She would have just wrapped the whole thing in duct tape if it would pass NYS inspection.
DH is looking at a Toyota Venza.
I called in sick to work yesterday due to a migraine.
Booooo.
And now it looks like my dad tested positive for prostate cancer, so now we get to wait for a biopsy.
Ugh. Fingers crossed for the best outcome.
Good thoughts toward your dad, shrift.
Think DH has a winner. 2008 Camry Hybrid. He is going to go see it tomorrow. He doesn't want him to have a junker. [link]
I am very sorry, shrift. ~ma and thoughts to you, your dad, and family.
And in other post: went to the campus' library yesterday (first time since... late Feb? Early March?) to get some dead-tree version of books that were unavailable online. While it was almost deserted (hence looking like a potential place to come to write my assignments in it), half of the patrons were without masks and in spaces where you cannot open the windows. I came, I browsed the shelves (possibly my favorite pastime), and I got away as quickly as possible.
I also don't know anything about cars either, but good luck!
Dad~ma, shrift. If it helps, my grandfather had prostate cancer for years, and it wasn't what caught him in the end.
Yay, Camry, Laura! I hope it works out for your son.
I bought an Impreza based on my niece-in-law's experience, but I can't report back on reliability because I haven't driven it half the time I've owned it. Due to COVID. I mean, yay WfH, and it looks nice in the parking lot. But it's getting a really inaccurate impression of its car-ish duties as part of my wee household.
