Sure, you hadda have a better Dodge than OUR Dodge Lemon right? And I loved your line too about me driving but you were there. LOL You're always driving from that seat' "Park there darling" as I sputter and fume after driving the world for about 60 years I got me a co-pilot that drives on the wrong side of the road. And everbody like me took the buses while you 'V's' drove that big Dodge too. Sheesh what a snob and now look what ya got urself into. I love you.

I hate car trouble too
The last chrysler dodge car I had had to have 4 transmissions replaced. It was a mini van.  A dodge, never again.   I hope yours gets fixed soon.

What a complete nightmare! But I love that little comment slipped in: technically Wiley was driving but I am always a help! Brilliant.

I can so relate to broken down cars and the timing of their need to stop running!  Happened to me this week, husband out of town, no one except little oh me to call the tow truck, hitch a ride to the dealer, etc, etc, etc ... Feeling your frustration and your pain!  Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment to my hourglass poem.  It was fun figuring that one out (how to make an hourglass).

From what my elders tell me the products of today pale in comparison to what they once were. A lot of factors are at play...My father has gone with Toyotas, Fords and Dodges over the course of his life. I'm not sure he has a favorite.

Kabu, I think they build cars, and a lot of other things, to self-destruct
after two-three years...or at least, thats when the troubles begin...I forget which company had the slogan "Built to Last", but it just isn't so anymore.....

Dreadful, although what with the warranty and a courtesy car, things won't be too bad. But if I were you, I wouldn't dream of buying a Chrysler product anyway - they're not known for their reliability...And if I didn't own a bit of Ford stock, I would suggest one of those, but can of course not do that in good conscience, LOL...

I hate car trouble, because trouble never comes alone. Always in threes.

That is a real bummer. Love and blessings this day.

Re: CORNCRAKE friend...I always bought old cars becuase Numb Nuts
used to trash them in a coupleof years. I was hoping we could keep this one for many years...Oh well...of course here the winters are so severe...one can't drive anything unreliable.

I like Hondas (of course, lol!), but have heard good things about Hyundai too. One thing for sure, a dependable vehicle is a must! Especially in Canadian winters. I don't think I'd go for that Dodge either, Kabu.

\It sounds a very unfriendly car Kabu Always sit in a car for a while before buying especially a second hand one as soon as I got in mine it felt friendly that was ten years ago and it has never let me down only the battery when not charged . This has one disadvantage one does not like to part with it. Of course it might be the metal plate. Keep smiling

The BL claims to be a good mechanic, but I wouldn't let her near my
new Hyundai...I love the new car and really suggest you guys consider a Sonata, too...great warranties and ride! (The BL snuck into it last night and took it for a joyride.  Biatch.)

Oh dear, Grandmummy!  I should think seriously before you purchase this car.  I don't like the thought of you and Poppy getting stuck somewhere with no help!  Do you have the triple A services in Canada?  Good luck and God speed!
