Solicitation, And If You're Feeling Generous, Distribution
You might be asking yourself: Why would she take her car back to a mechanic who is proving unreliable and possibly criminal?
It's a bad case of Force of Habit. That, mixed with sleep deprivation and stress, and I just go for what's the norm. I would say I'm a goober, but this probably qualifies as dumbass.
After a worry-filled night, the car is back thanks to Bob*, complete with a new vacuum hose and a sense of relief.
The visit from Boss went ok enough. Only one more day and then, finally, a day off, just in time to finish the little shopping I have left.
I am obsessed with the prospect of a new car. I mean, I love my car, I'm very lucky to have her. She has served me well and I will be forever in debt to the nice guy at Toyota who worked some financial magic to be sure I got a car.
Anyone have an opinion on Toyotas? I'm going to stick with the dealer I went to last time. I long for a Rav4, but the Matrix and the Corolla also have my attention, thanks to decent pricing. I suck at car stuff tho, and while I have spent a great amount of time clicking around Carmax and Edmunds and the Toyota site itself, personal opinions would be great.

I have a 2001 Toyota Celica I bought new. So far, I've had very little to complain about (except that they decided to stop making them). It's been very reliable in the past 5 years and needed little other than regular maintenance (1 new set of tires, one break job). The stock tires kinda sucked, but they usually do, and in all fairness I rode them bald (trying to drive in the snow on bald tires is, well, difficult). My two cents.
By the way, I may have missed this from an earlier post, but why does Bob get an asterix?
My first car was a 94 Toyota Land Cruiser (Diana). I now drive a new Lexus LX 470 (Stacy). Stacy has served me well so far, but I miss Diana. I would even say that the Land Cruiser handles better. Stick with Toyota.
