Embrace Change

We are thinking about getting a new car. It's pretty official. Our car, as magnificent as it has been, is soon to be retired. We are thinking of getting a Nissan Sentra. What's the car we have now, you might ask? A Nissan Sentra. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! But if it is broke, do replace it...
That is so "us" though, to replace something with the exact same thing. If we find something we like we just stick with it. If you know me you may be familiar with my addiction of picking 3 outfits and wearing them over and over again until they are physically unwearable. What can I say, I had no sisters to give me style. And I'm pretty sure Brett has 2 of the exact same pair of shorts. Can't wait to see what Marie will be like.

Anyone have any other suggestions for a "work" car for Brett? It may also might want to be a back up family car, so motorcycles, scooters, and hover crafts are out. We love your suggestions.

Zack and I are the same way when it comes to sticking with something we like. We like the Hondas. I won't try and talk you into buy one, I'll just tell you my experience with my car.
I have a good old reliable Honda Civic. I've had it for 9 years (the car itself is 11 years old) and it currently has 118,000 miles. I've had to take it in to a shop once- because the welding on the muffler wasn't so good. That's it.
There's a reason the American car industry isn't doing so well. Japan makes better engines.

Thanks I will look at Civics to. That's really good to hear!

I suggest a 1995 Mercury Mystique!

So wait, what's wrong with Ole Smokey? Breaking down?

I recommend buying American, if you want to be patriotic. But if you want to be a flaming liberal, like me, then buy Japanese (like you did before). My 1991 Civic that I bought three years ago for $1700 cash is pretty dang sweet. 240,000 miles and counting.

looks like the Civic is where it's at. I thought liberals bought Subarus. I can't figure out the connection though.
