I'm having a very bad year....

I need lots of chocolate now. I'm sorry to hear about your bad luck, but I'm glad you weren't more seriously hurt. *Where is your new job location? The new job is up in the Baltimore area, and there's no chance of public transportation to there. This time a car is a necessity, not a luxury. After 4 years of being able to Metro to work, it's going to be hard to adjust to. I have good new already, though. I have found a couple of possible cars that 1) are in decent condition, and 2) are at a price so that I can pay CASH No worrying about 'last chance bank' loan shark interest rates, although I was considering it. Finding a decent car for under $4000 isn't all that hard, thanks to Craigslist! And I'll be able to spend my first week at the new job actually concentrating on the new job, instead of finding a car. This is not how I planned on spending my last weekend of 'vacation', though. Jane |

I just finished paying off my car in February, and not having those payments made things a lot easier. Three silver linings: You didn't end up in the morgue You didn't wake up in a hospital with the news that you are now a quadriplegic. And you do have that new job. But I'm sure things look bleak, right now. Is there anyway you can rent a car for the immediate term? {{{Jane}}} Melissa |

I think I"ll have only a few days after that to find something else to drive, or else pay for my own rental. You're right, at least I didn't get hurt badly, but now I get to deal with the pain and misery of finding a new car very quickly, with no money and no credit. I feel like a teenager again! lol Jane |

As long as it's reliable, it doesn't have to be too fancy, right? I don't think I'll ever buy a new car again. It's really great to be able to just hand over a check, take home the car, and that's the end of it. No car payments. I've found a number of used cars that have lasted a while. This is not how I planned on spending my last weekend of 'vacation', though. Yeah, the downside of used cars is that you have to do a lot more legwork. I hope you find something soon! -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |
