Points to ponder...

[wishing, hoping]

So bad news. Car is toast. The place I took it to this morning wouldn't even attempt to fix it. They said it needs a new engine. I am not replacing the engine on an 11 year old vehicle with 238,000 miles on it. They suggested getting a new car. Great. In the meantime they charged me over $110 to look at the car, hook it up to a diagnostic and put some oil in it.

I have an email into my lawyer on how to handle this legally. I am running on 5 out of 6 cylinders for who knows how long! H said he has no problem with me getting rid of it as long as the value of the vehicle still shows up on the marital balance sheet. I don't know how this works. Man I wish this was just over and done. I am at my wits end. What's that old saying? It's always darkest before the dawn?

So any pointers on finding a new vehicle? Help is appreciated.
