After two years of successful mitigation strategies, the VID hit the homestead this week. Mrs. 'Grim has had a steady fever and is developing a nasty cough. I remain unblemished, but biding my time... Stay healthy everyone!
Sorry to see this, D...I hope her case is mild and she recovers quickly and you are able to avoid it.

Sorry to hear that. Looking for another vehicle is a PITA, but the used car prices are dropping from the ridiculous prices from Covid times.
I've got a 90's model Toyota Tacoma with 5 billion miles on it that I use for that type stuff. Best vehicle ever but most definitely not good for day to day. I think I'm ready for a luxury car after driving the POS I've had for so long. lol I've been looking at everything....just can't make up my mind. And I shouldn't say POS....I have a love hate relationship with that car. I do know this...that is the last Ford I will ever buy. I've never had much luck with any Ford model that I've ever owned.
We have a couple of Lexuses (Lexi?) now. They are luxury Toyotas so you'll still get a billion miles and if you don't mind a little foot work you can mostly buy Toyota parts and skip the Lexus tax. I've been through a lot of the European brands and I do love them, but the 65K mile Russian Roulette game where you go "gee I wonder how much that weird clunk is going to cost me", or "huh, that heater switch is a little glitchy, I wonder what the chances are is it's less than $1,500" just gets old. Even under warranty I always felt a weird pang of guilt when I called the service manager and said "I'll need an office with WiFi and plenty of coffee while you fix the strut again".

FORD?? People still buy those? I avoided them back in the 80's. Everyone who owned one seemed to have issues. Never had a problem with Toyota, Honda or Suzuki s.
But that POS is paid for and gets you from point A to Z compared to a New POS that has a 72 Month payment plan.

get yourself another small hatch or small pickup (maybe with a camper)
because fishing gear and future doggie transport

YAS! My Fizzord Fizzoucus is on the fritz. I just had to get my boss to take me to get Big Sexy. I guess I'll drive it until I make up my mind...not for too long though. I'll go broke putting gas in the thing.

Good morning, all. Running a bit late. Car trauma this morning. I guess it's time to buy a new car as bad as I hate to. I'm going on 4 years with no car payment and the thought of it makes me vomit.
Morning Peeps... the Pirates invade Tampa tomorrow.... come on down and get your Arrrgggggg on.
I wish! That looks like so much fun.
