Reply #60: I just bought a new car

[HockeyMom]

not because I wanted to, but because I had to. Had a 10 year old Saturn with 75,000 miles that needed a $3,000 transmission (quote including LABOR). Forget all the repairs I have ALREADY put into it. Although, I am considering fixing it up in a year and giving it to my daughter to take to her college internship. I drive 100 miles a week back and forth to work (no mass transit, no carpool). I bought a 2005 Hyundai Elantra ($14,000 plus great warranty). As much as I hate to say this, the worst cars I have ever owned were AMERICAN cars. The Japanese ones were the best. We will see how Korean is.
