Automotive Update

Well, not much to say about the Hyundai. It needs a new gasket, that's the source of the oil leak. It has been doing this for quite a while, but now it is in bad shape. This would run $500. It needs some other standard maintenence coming to about $1,000 more. On top of that, it also needs a new fan motor on the compressor cooler, a new fan for the interior, a new fan switch, and struts all the way around. Easily, this would run us about $3k...on a car that's ten years old with almost 117,000 miles on it.

In the words of a good friend, that sounds like sending good money after bad.

I once told Marie that I like to own a car until it's run into the ground. She reminded me of this today. I believe we can say this qualifies for running into the ground.

So, anyone selling a good used car?
