(sigh) my car

[Janet]

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.

Diana's SUV is very nice....I've ridden in it....

Nope, the warranty didn't cover anything! The warranty people said the part that was broken was excluded and because it wasn't a moving part. The service manager even got on the phone and argued with them, but to no avail. Oh well, had to be fixed....... It's General Motors Preferred warranty, so you would think it would be good

My brother did give us our parents' old '91 Explorer, which has nice aerodynamics from all the rust holes But I'd like something a little nicer one of these days My parents live on a steep hill with an even steeper driveway, and when I go home in the winter I have to go around the back of the hill which isn't so steep, and brake slowly as I'm coming down the other side so I can park in front of their yard. If I slide, I have to go around and try again. I don't even attempt to get up the driveway because I end up sliding backwards down it in my car! So when we buy an SUV it will need four wheel drive to make life easier! We go to the lake a lot too, and Scott's parents are moving to their lake when they retire in a few years, and there are pretty bad gravel roads to get to either place.

Gayle, that's terrible it's excluded!! I guess that's how they make their money.

That really sucks Gayle....sometimes these warranties aren't worth the paper it takes to print them.
