Do you have AAA? If you do check with them about good mechanics in the area that can check out a used car.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Dealership is your friend in this case. When I purchased my boat of a van, I took it to the Chevy dealership, told them I was thinking of buying the car, can they look it over. They spent about an hour and checked 80 major things. When I purchased the Prius, I took it to the Toyota, and they did the same thing, only it was like 120 points or something. It will cost you about 1-1.5 hours of labor (figure about $100) and well worth it.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Suzi, when I was in college, I test drove a used car from a private owner. I drove it into town and pulled into the nearest mechanic (it was an hour away from our home town, so I didn't know anyone close by). I asked if they ran diagnostics on cars and they said yes, for $25. Best $25 I ever spent. The mechanic told me it was a great car and I bought it. I drove that thing for 8 years (and it was already 5 years old when I bought it).

A lot of mechanics will do a pre-sale inspection for reasonable cost - under a hundred last I did it, though more than $25. Totally worth it.

Thank y'all so much. I pretty much copied the last bunch of posts and sent them to K-Bug. She says THANKS!

Suzi, why a Taurus and not a Japanese model? Just curious.

I am a bad, bad person. I canceled my doctor's appointment at the last minute because I just couldn't do it. Motivate myself to go, I mean. There's a small cancellation fee, and right now? Worth it.

not your mom's socks.
Iris = sick again. yet another mongo fever. and her school is closed on Friday, so even if this is a miraculously short one, she will have been there 2-3 out of the last 10 school days. Which I pay for why?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Here's my hair this morning (brown).
And a little bit ago. Not the best shot to show off the streakiness, but it's okay. I'll try to get a better picture in the sunlight tomorrow. (What I didn't say in the photo description is that my dopey expression is due to some enthusiastic amorousness on The Boy's part about 45 minutes before the picture was taken. Apparently yes, he *really* likes me blonde....)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You look fabulous streaky! (And go team boy!!)
