Our "new" car

[Logan]

I think I would have said "thanks, but no thanks", if your hubby or you aren't capable of repairing it! Kim, she got you, girl!!!!

LOL Logan. I knew it before we even picked up the car. Hubby on the other hand is the eternal optimist. I was talking to him about it tonight, he's insisting we'll be able to repair it. Now here's where optimism comes in: This car is gonna be shared by three teenagers, and if they want to drive it, THEY will pay to repair it. LOLOLOLOLOLOL now thats optimism for you! That car is gonna sit there for a long, long time!

And more optimism for ya, he thinks once these initial repairs are done, thats all it'll need. I say its the radiator and tires this month. Alternator and starter next month. Brakes after that. Then perhaps the heater will die just in time for cold weather to set in. Its gonna be a money pit. But hey, its not MY money -- its the kids' money!

Do men ever grow up and enter reality? Or are they all Peter Pan forever?

I sure hope not.

Nice car too! I've always liked mid-engine cars and the MR2 is a great example. I agree that there is a lot of help to be found on enthusiast forums like the one that LH posted. They also typically have a parts area too.
