We planned to run the last one until it dropped, preferably in a few years, but in November the engine bit the dust. Having just bought our retirement home in the Keys and my husband had lost his job a year earlier, we really didn't want to put money into a car. But he'd just moved to the house, leaving me in Virginia to work until the end of the school year, and I had to have reliable transportation.<br /><br />We ended up buying a brand spanking new Prius III (now that we've sold our house in WV we have no mortgage!!!) that I love dearly. It costs about $25 to fill it and gets about 48 mpg. Did I mention that I love it?ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670685934653870752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15811958.post-66276347102542905692010-06-10T12:27:43.157-05:002010-06-10T12:27:43.157-05:00We love Hondas, too!

I have the Oddessy - perfect for dog-showing, gets us to dog sports events all over the place!Plus - I love the Piccolo sweater!! I'm making a wardrobe of them for Hershey.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12228212220572989359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15811958.post-32176027254519944562010-06-08T20:56:52.139-05:002010-06-08T20:56:52.139-05:00Thanks, Needlewings, for your concern!

The backstory is that my full time job went away last December, and I'm slowly trying to get Lucky Penny going, after neglecting it for a while. I'm not desperate, yet. Waiting to see if I'm eligible for an unemployment extention!Corinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454025849177496155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15811958.post-63990000697434990292010-06-08T19:54:15.940-05:002010-06-08T19:54:15.940-05:00I was just blog hopping, which I rarely get a chan...I was just blog hopping, which I rarely get a chance to but I happened upon yours. I have been to Lake Geneva and told hubby I wanted to move there! Gorgeous area but he wants to be with less cold and snow! I live in SE Ohio and get through Chicago at least once a year on my way to visit my mom and sisters in ND.<br /><br />Hope your Rav4 goes another 200,000 miles! We nearly bought one in '97, but got the Honda CRV instead. It turned over 200,000 miles too. Best vehicle we have had too. Hubby has it now and I have a Mountaineer, but I would sooner have a Honda any time as we have more repairs in the Mountaineer than any other vehicle I have had. <br /><br />I am not sure what your current set backs are and I know the economy sucks, but sounds like you could use a little lift. I don't knit, but I do quilt. Call it a RAK if you will. If you still have your 90 inch quilt that needs quilting, I will be glad to do it if you can fund the shipping, batting and backing:)<br />http://enchantedquilts.comNEEDLEWINGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309750859967951816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15811958.post-48902004323508918182010-06-06T22:05:46.440-05:002010-06-06T22:05:46.440-05:00Hooray for 1984 Civics!

I had a Civic S...it lasted until 1992 when the timing belt broke, otherwise I'd probably still be driving it.cathyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507133046881404496noreply@blogger.com
