Your Next Car: What's It Going to Be?

I'm hoping to drive my old beater into the ground before we need to get another car, but I'm on the lookout. What's your next car going to be?

My wife and I drive a perfectly good 2002 Nissan Sentra with 127,318 miles on it. "Stella" has four wheels and gets us from Point A to Point B.   We've reached the stage in the life of the car where we don't repair body damage (as you can tell from the accompanying photo). I'm ashamed for my Dad to see it. But hey, it's paid for. Even though I'd love to get 200K miles out of Stella, she has some mechanical problems, like a seized bolt that has left the transmission fluid unchangeable for about eight years.

I refuse to use the CVS we already have. The pharmacy staff are always rude and less than helpful, not to mention the impact this store would have on the town especially the surrounding neighborhoods. I would much rather give my business to a small pharmacy like Winchester Pharmacy, where the staff actually takes the time to get to know their customers!   more ›
