Coffee Break # 92

Check engine light came on in my car, bringing it in tomorrow hope it's nothing major
We've been thinking about getting a new car, mine has almost 75,000 miles

My car has almost 175,000 miles and I wish I could think about getting a new one.

Cute cake, looks like it was fun

Thinking about a new one is easy. Actually getting one is much tougher! ^_^

Happy Valentine's Day everyone ♥♥♥!!

my county looks yummy!!

Jersey looks great! Took me 6 months to find a car I liked & could afford.....son bought one after one week of looking....

Can't stand car shopping, the salesmen drive me crazy...I do play good cop bad cop with hubby when shopping for 1 I'm the bad cop...hee hee


Kids were so excited this morning about putting that cake together

Wow - the videos of the Russian meteor are nuts!! Lots of injuries from flying glass caused by the sonic booms.

I was just reading about that!

Russia seems to be a meteor magnet.....

My car is a Saturn because there was no negotiating when you bought a car, and it was American made. Being a woman by myself - trying to buy a car is a nightmare! Trying to be bad cop and good cop just makes me look schiphrenic

One time when I went car shopping the salesman wanted to show me all the little amenities inside the car and didn't even say anything about the engine or the warranty. Guess women don't need to worry about little things like icky motors.

My last two cars I bought new because of the problems with buying a used car. The Dodge Omni I sold with 135k miles on it and it was still running 3 years later when I got sued over an accident it had had in California. This car needs tires and I thought the last set would be the last but it runs really well. and thanks to a plastic body - doesn't look to bad after all these years. I would buy another Saturn - if they still made them.

And a small asteroid will pass within 17K miles of earth this afternoon. That is closer than many of our satellites.

That would be funny Memory if you tried good cop bad cop with yourself, they may give you a great deal just to get you out of the dealership, LOL


It was the catalytic converter

if you like saturn - buy a GM they where the company behind saturn.

Yankee-cat! I bit the bullet in 2004 and bought a Honda because they have such a great repair record.That would be none besides the regular maintenance and oilchange.I still have it,in the long view I saved or broke even because it has never broken down.

Honda or Toyota is a good choice - even Nissan.

Love Honda.

I was wondering how you liked it Victor. How bout the all-wheel drive? Whadya think?

Bill I like all 3 and i'll add Ford 150 truck or bigger.

Love the CRV. It has all wheel drive.

Had a Nissan once, what a piece of crap!

My Nissan Sentra was great.

YUP I have a CRV and love it altho I dont drive as much as I used to so the '04 only has less than 40,000.

how long ago was that?

wife has a first year in production Exterra and we have had no real problems - keep telling her she can get a new one after 250K miles

The new ones have more get-up-and-go. ^_^

Yes, very zippy.

All wheel drive or 4 wheel drive...i'll never go with out EVER again.

I have a 2012 CRV with over 25,000 miles already--I drive a ton for work. I highly recommend it in every way. My other car is a 2009 Pilot so it can pull a trailer. Love the seat designs.

So far, I'm liking my Ford Expedition....handles very well in the snow, has a great low gear I need on my hill....gas mileage, not good, but since I don't commute, I can afford it.

Mine is also a '12 CRV.

Randy's nissian maxima .. has almost 200 G and it still runs

I've had 3 brand new Hondas, 170-200,000 miles on 2, sold each for $2-3,000. Third one is 3 years old and no trouble at all.

Yeah, this is my fourth or fifth Honda. Wife has had three.

One warning about all-wheel drive....if you have a problem wirh one tire, you have to replace all 4, and you have to rotate and balance the tires very frequently. Expensive. I won't get it again. They don't mention that until you have already bought it.

Bill,my "04 CRV is sitting in the garage now with an odometer reading less than 45,000.
I only drive 2 or 3 days a week.Since '07.

not bad for an LED bulb

True. Have you seen this one??

My turntable is working again! YAY! Listening to Bob Dylan right now.

Okay - what's a turntable????

A "turntable" has my tiny dinosaur offspring makin' lazy circles in the sky, like "Oklahoma!"
