Junie Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 My head hurts. Dh just went to the store with a huge list. It's really my job to do the shopping because he wanted to work on another project, but I just don't feel safe driving. And I don't know if I could handle the grocery store. So bright, so loud. :( 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (((Junie))) (((Jean))) Ikslo, I'm a spoiled brat when it comes to cars. I cannot afford car repairs so I'm only willing to buy a Honda or a Toyota. There are other cars I would be willing to buy, such as a Lexus, but I cannot afford them. I would never buy a Ford and I don't know anything about Mazda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Yeah, I'm not leaning towards the Ford - at all. I'm just doing the test drive so I can tell DH no. :LOL: However, I will try to reserve judgement. Who knows. I just have never known anyone who owned a Mazda. It looks nice online, but... I will probably test drive a Honda Civic as well, but... I just hate car shopping. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I took a Mazda 3 for a quick test drive. The dashboard drove me crazy (but that was probably because of my migraine issues). We were already pretty sure that we were going to get the Nissan Altima that we had already looked at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Oh! I have to put in a plug for a Prius. Ours was used, had 45,000 miles and one owner, and was $12,000. Excellent, excellent, excellent car. It was a joy to ride in and had a very spacious trunk. Because it was a hatchback we were able to put the dog in the trunk when we went to the beach or hiking because she was subject to the air conditioner or heater. We got 50 miles to the gallon. I highly recommend you check one out. The battery is only good for 150,000 miles and then it costs $4,000 to replace but I've only known one person that's ever needed to replace it and it was at 250,000 miles. Do not get tan interior! Prius owners talk Prius a lot so most owners are quite informative if you know one. Check out Prius Chat if you're interested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 No hatchbacks. I don't like the Honda dealerships around here. My husband is very opinionated about cars. All I know is I have loved my car for so long, I feel like I am ditching the relationship when things get tough for a younger partner. I tried to work it out, but I am putting way more into the relationship at this point than I am getting out. I'm sad, but it's time to say goodbye. But it doesn't make it any easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Then you should buy an expensive one so your husband's winds up being crappy so you can park in the garage. The Prius hatchback is designed differently than other hatchbacks. Much nicer. Get a Civic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I feel like today's black belt test is ds19's last graduation from childhood - the last long term training we've given him to prepare him for the real world. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Mazda 3 - like! Way more than I expected Ford Focus - um, noooooo way Civic - I would want the EX but DH would probably not even want to pay for the LX, but I did love driving the LX I'm leaning towards the Civic, but DS is mad that I'm considering sticking with Honda.

Susan in TN Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I love dh's 2004 Malibu Maxx (hatchback). :D We got it with 125,000 miles on it and it has been very reliable. Sadly, we are selling it to ds this summer so he can have a vehicle that fits his bass - he is living off campus this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why it surprised me so much. The answer to the CD player question is found in Susan's post. Obviously people are carting their own instruments around to meet their music needs. Live music is so much better than recorded. :) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding children being disciplined for disrespecting the daycare provider: needs to be done! Regarding black belt tests: way to go! I is back from the Walmart. My house is moderately clean.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 He has a black belt! Halfway through his two hour test, he hurt his foot when it collided with someone's elbow.
