I think it is time to replace my wifes car

Post by froo »

Yeah; it wouldn't start yesterday, typical thing if I drive it for 30 seconds - I backed it out of the driveway, went to work, then got a call that it would not start. Came home and worked with it to get it started. It's a good thing we live near the Rockies because I can drive it up there, choose from many high, steep cliffs with big jaggy rocks, and just push the damn thing over the cliff! YEAH! BURN BABY BURN! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Seriously we gotta replace that thing. It's been a good car but I don't have the mental or emotional resources left to deal with it anymore. I had to work late last night because of it. Meh.

I checked on edmunds.com how much it is worth. Based on significant body damage, I can trade it in for around $250. Or I can sell it myself for around $400. I can try for more of course. Or, I could donate it.

We hope to make it til March 2013 but we'll see. May have to replace it sooner than that.

BTW I have been meaning to take some pics and post them here. :)

Yeah no kidding! And aside from the paint job, it's in much better physical shape!

Fire up that 3D printer and start replacing parts.
