Reply #45: We HAVE to replace one of our cars - it's almost gone

[Pathwalker]

and not worth the cost of repairing. My husband has 35 yrs. experience in the auto parts/repair and he says we must replace it, so we will. We will purchase a USED auto from a Democratic source.
Other than that, we spent this morning finalizing all our previously discussed "tentative just-in-case" plans - pretty much like you suggested. We don't have credit cards, so that's not an issue. We're hunkering down for the long haul here.

I'm with ya!
