Leaving for Great Clips to get a haircut from my sis.

I go to Great Clips in Niagara Falls, I like when they have a $13.99 haircut sale I have a digital coupon for $18.99 for the next cut. In the summer my hair grows fast and I get it cut every 3 weeks. In the winter it grows slower and my girlfriend cuts it for me every 5 or 6 weeks. No coupon needed

Got done with my 20 mile bike ride, would like to get back to a work project. Wife has a movie she wants to watch and I'm toying with watching it--maybe I'll bring a laptop with me.

The station wagon I've been eying just dropped in price, but am starting to think I really don't want a manual anymore--no fun in traffic. But wife wants me to get one some time before spring; I'm guessing I can always rent something, as it's just to move the daughter out of college to wherever it is she'll be going. It all barely fit into the car going down, so, the thought is, it won't fit coming back.

My wife bought a new BMW 330i xDrive with an automatic a few weeks ago and sold her Audi A4 quattro 6 speed manual to my middle brother. She doesn't miss having a stick.

Just got home from work. Salesman gave me a ride home. My Escape is shaking like mad and I believe it’s a transmission or axle problem. As rusty as it is and worn out I’m probably just going to try and get something else. It’s done developed a couple holes in the frame and everything. I balanced and rotated the tires and test drove and still does it. It started this morning about 10 miles from work. My dealership has a very nice used Tacoma I might inquire about. I need 4WD that’s basically the only requirement.

Did you try coasting in neutral to see if the shaking changed?

Edit: And car payments are for suckers!!!

Thinking about these three Thespians I met in NC. A few weeks ago.... They were in a small moving van... and I made a huge mistake at a rest stop and i approached them at a pet area as they had a huge Maine Coon cat.
Two of the ladies had man fear and then i met face to face with the leader. She was a bit crazy, bold, and loud while foaming at the mouth....
I called her out as I knew her game she was a 50/50 Italian Irish and she asked me how I knew... because I am the same and she shook my hand and went on a bizarre rant about conspiracy theories and the world of bizarre semi lucid nonsense as fact.

I tried to escape but my attemp was futile at best.....
Lesson learned....

Honestly I didn’t. I was terrified about breaking down so I just drove under 50 and got there. I’ll try and take it for a spin tomorrow during lunch and see if it does it again or try putting it in neutral.

Don't you own several other cars including a small pickup?

Nothing beats a visual inspection, but I know you know that. Would you get in trouble if you put your personal vehicle up on the lift?

You have a good credit rating ?

Indeed. I’m going to drive it temporarily but the route I travel is not known the be the safest and as thin and old as that truck is I want something safe and with airbags and four wheel drive and preferable automatic because my truck goes about 30 up that hill that the speed limit is 60 on lol.

It’s mid 600s. but since I’m an employee they can probably finance me in house because we have our own finance company.

There goes your big raise, lol

I did that tonight and none of the axles or the driveshaft was bent or broken, balanced and rotated all the tires, no play in suspension or broken components. And no check engine lights or codes for a misfire or anything.

Separating tire?

I suppose that’s a possibility. Doesn’t show any signs but probably won’t hurt to pull them off the rim and see if it’s internal.

Taco’s hold value - and a fixed rate on a declining balance is not terrible … Sure, at my income I could preach like others here - but you gotta be safe, reliable, and proud …
Then get rid of all the sentimental stuff - well, keep the bug

In my opinion $15k isn’t too bad for the truck in question. Considering a new one is every bit of 50-60k and 10x uglier lol. I figure I can do around $300-$400 a month payment and still be alright.

What’s the mileage …?
