Subject: RE: BS: cars to avoid
I used to drive a 1989 Ford Probe, which I loved. Unfortunately, it was 10 years old and had almost 150,000 miles on it. It also needed a new motor, which I couldn't afford. Then stuff started going wrong with it, I took it to a big chain store called Pep Boys to get it fixed, and 15 minutes later I was in a ditch on a hillside because something else went wrong--and believe it or not, it wasn't my driving. I ended up having to trade it in on another car.

Now I drive a 1995 Dodge Neon with about 60,000 miles on it. No power steering, no AC, no working tapeplayer--just windows rolled down and a good radio station. The only bad thing that happened was the week after the 30 day warranty ran out, I was putting $400 of repairs into it. Other than that, the car's been fine. Nice 4-cylinder stick shift. . .

Peace--Keli
