In which the middle-aged Peacenik mouths off about War Drones--and all the other things that make him cranky. Pnorny!

Time For A New Car
07.26.06 (7:18 pm)   [edit]
The transmission died on my circa 1994 car. It'll cost about $2500 to repair, which I'll pay, but I think it's time to start looking for a new car. My wife wants a hybrid. I want functionality. Although it'll be our main commuter car it'll need to, in a pinch, stand in for our traveling car, which is a nice gas guzzling 'burb.

Why, you may ask, is your traveling car a gas guzzling Suburban? Because on any given weekend we have minimum 5 bodies to schlep, up to the max of 8. That's why. When the 'burb is in the shop we need a backup that can handle our family of 5.

So I'm thinking like a sedan or something. Not new but maybe 1 year used. That way there should still be a warranty in effect but you won't suffer that quick depreciation of buying new. Any thoughts? Any recommendations?
