So my wife's 93 Crapmaro finally gave it up. Actually I stopped fixing it because she wouldn't get rid of it until it didn't work anymore. So when the head gasket went she agreed to buy something else. She said if she had to make a car payment she wanted to buy a new car so we went shopping. Now she's a teacher and a save the whales type so of course we were looking at hybrids and Ecars. So I tell her a co-worker has this Volkswagen that meets her list of needs and gets great fuel milage. So we go and look at them and they are really nice. A bit over the price range but that is about par. So we found the best deal we could find and roll down and buy that sucker. Wake up the next morning to the news that VW is in big trouble for installing cheating software on their on-board computers on the very model sitting in the driveway with 37 miles on it. Well we have 2400 miles on it now and pretty much love the car the way it is but we shall see how things will shake out in the next year as we go through the recall process and see what we end up with. One day...figures. Just about our luck. The good part is it gets better milage than a Prius and it's a very sweet ride for now. The bad part is she isn't ever going to let me forget that i talked her into buying it. Whatever.
