Ive acepted the fact I gotta go buy a more "family friendly" and handicap accesible car. My years in lifted up trucks(I never said ime selling them just not using them as daily drivers) are about over.

I love my husband and my sisters. My husband returned from Iraq and is Severly wounded, so he wont be climbing into my toys anymore. I plan on having kids one day, BUT NOT NOW.

I was at the Ford dealership today looking around. Ime really tempted with the Ford expidition.

This has been really hard, ive always tinkered with the engines. Added some performance parts, put a lift kit one and well now its hard to be realistic and have a vehicle I like.


Oh well, so what do you drive. less

We have a dodge grand caravan mini van, we have three kids so it works for us. It also makes for a great designated driver van on party nights lol. My husband doesn't drink so he just piles all us drunken people into the van and drives everyone home. less

1990 Subaru Legacy that I picked up in Montana almost two years ago when my 92 Chevy Corsica (my first car) died of transmission failure.

The bitch has been nothing but trouble since.

The latest thing it did to make it inoperable was the differential catching fire on our way back from Montana to Florida last October. Yes, it is sitting in my backyard with NO WAY to be driven without major surgery and new (expensive) parts.

And I'm STILL paying on the blasted thing! less

This is a far stretch but it can save you some moeny

If you know the parts you need ide try going to a salvage yard or this website
link Ive used that webiste a few times cause ime always working on my cars and its a great site and they usally have the parts you need. What usally happens is bobby sue gets in a car accident her front end is damaged and the car is totalled. The rear end is still good so they buy the rear end and disasmble and sell it for parts.

They will sell you the same part but used or reconditioned. If it was a 2010 lambergini I wouldnt but when your with 92 that has had alot of trouble chances are its not worth another few hundred bucks on a few new parts when you can save moeny getting them refurbished. There not good as new but alot of times there just fine for a car like yours thats gonna have more problems down the road.

You can take the part with the car to the shop and have the mechinic use that part intsead of him getting a new part from a chain supply that charges more. Depending on the part you can save from 15 all the way to 3 thousand dollars. Most mechincs will let you bring your own parts to replace but not all.

Its a little more work but if your pinching pennies it can save you a few bucks less

Talk with someone in military health care who deals with injured people and lost limbs. They'll probably have some recommendations or know someone who does. You'll probably want a long-wheelbase car so there's plenty of space to work legs in. Minivan might work, too.

Since you like to work on your cars look for a rear-drive model. Much easier. I didn't realize what a horror transverse engine front-drive cars were to work on until I started fighting with one. It's ridiculous the number of things they expect you to pull the engine for. less
