Shite. I need a new car. Any suggestions?
Ruby, my mom's 1995 Ford Escort Stationwagon, is a goner. She was choppy this morning, so I tried to replace her spark plugs with the help of some people from work (some very awesome people, I might add, who got sweat and hot on my account). But I couldn't get one of her plugs out. So I took her to Sears, and they couldn't either. It would involve a machine shop and retooling, and it would probably cost more than the car is worth.
I had to leaver her there over night because she's got the bower of a lawn mower now. There's no way I can drive her home on the commute.
So. I'm donating her to the local NPR station and bying a new car this weekend.
Can I afford a new car? No. Do I have a choice in the matter? Not if I want to keep my job!
So, Livejournal friends, I ask you, what cars do you recommend for leggy tall girls? No trucks or SUVs, thank you. I need a gas sipper, in the 30+ MPG range. Preferably Japanese.
Any ideas?
I hate it when circumstances force my hand, but some things have to be done.
