(sigh) my car

Well, our whole drive to work is on the highway every day, and I think that's where you get the most fuel savings on a hybrid. It's not stop-and-start like city driving. We also drive over two hours each way on the highway whenever we visit our parents

I'm taking my car in tomorrow to be fixed. Keep your fingers crossed that the extended warranty pays for some of the repair.

I hope you get your car fixed and the warranty covers all or most of it.

I have had a cracked windshield since the middle of summer, where they are putting in the Hoosier Heartland by pass a dump truck threw a rock up and it just chipped it but once it started getting cold and i ran the defroster it went clear across the windshield. It's gona be a long time before they are done with the highway, so really hate to fix it and chance it happening again. I have a 2003 KIA Serento and i love it, just turned over 100K and it's begining to show it's wear and tear, would love to get a new one but gona hold out for a while.

The car my Mom bought this past summer is a Rav 4. It's really nice and gets wonderful mileage. It is also very comfortable.

I better go knock on wood now for luck that nothing happens to my van. I drive a 2000 Dodge Caravan and it's been a pretty good vehicle.

Sure hope your warranty covers yours Gayle. Lynne...I didn't realize the chip grew since this cold weather. As long as it's not hurting your vision....I think I'd probably wait until the road construction was done....although...your insurance should cover it.

Oooh Janet, your mom needs to give her car to you

Good luck with your car Gayle! Let us know what happens.

Betsi...even though Mom's Rav 4 is a very nice vehicle....she leased it....another great idea of my younger brother.

Lindsay, I have an SUV and I love it!! It drives wonderfully and is comfortable but it does like to use gas!! It has lots of room for whatever we want to buy and lots of leg room for others to ride with us. One thing that we have to have is four wheel drive to be able to drive up to the house when there's snow on the ground. It also has a third set so we can have 7 people ride with us. For us a car wouldn't work well because of driving in the fields so using more gas off sets the other things that we appreciate about the vehicle.

BTW....I've heard that our gas is suppose to be up to five dollars by the end of this year. Not good news.


Gayle, I hope that your warranty covers your expenses to get your car fixed. It seems like it's always something.
