And, no, going car-free isn't really an option down here since we are just a month away from the start of hurricane season. However, I am thinking of going car-light so we can save our cars for when the $#!] hits the fan and we need to vacate. Even Lance can't pedal THAT fast.
Hopefully, the 2008 season will be fairly benign around here. I'm afraid that another major hurricane hitting us would cause more people to leave and not come back.
See, its not that bad for me... I'm a Mechanic by trade (ducking all the tomatoes thrown from the car free people
) and I like working on cars. But since I'm back in school and working at the ER full time (Nursing student) I have 0 time.... I ran a compression test on the car, and they were all equal, so it doesnt look like a bad head.... Just looks like some bad valve seals
. More work than I want to do
Oh well.... it gets 30+ mpg. With leather interior and ONE electric mirror I think its worth saving.... again.
