Having dipped my toe into this Blogging world, I've somehow managed to return to the same spot. Aren't we so proud!

We had a visit from our daughter in Alabama not long ago and after she got back home, her car broke down. She had to put it in the shop for repair and is supposed to get it out today.

These things seem to go in threes. T. (my spouse) just went into hock to get the Saturn battery replaced and fix the driver's side window - which was stuck in the up position, thank goodness! Can you see the six inches of rain we had yesterday - and him driving around with the window down. I'm praying the Oldsmobile lasts a while longer without needing a visit to the doctor mechanic.

Now that the Cash for Clunkers program is offering so much money to take your old car off your hands I sort of wonder what my next ride might be. We passed a car that said it was for sale for 3200.00 and if I had 4500.00 for my old green van - I could get a car free. I guess you have to buy from the dealer though. They're not likely to give you a bunch of money and take your old car and then not sell you something else. That would be just too good to be true.

I believe ST, down at our end of the state is considering the clunker windfall. Not a bad deal when the dealers are matching the clunker rebates with rebates of their own.

Yes, and he has to purchase a new vechile in order to qualify. The good news is, the dealer will match the $3,500 or $4,500 the goverment offers. The difference between 35 and 45 is judged between the gas milage between your old car and the new car you might purchase.
