Finally got a car

I finally broke down and got a newer little car. My Geo bit it the other day and the little Nissan just kept having too many problems. I went to Winnipeg and picked up an '04 Toyota Corolla with 57000 km. Really liking this thing so far. I think I may like it a lot for a long time.

Thanks guys. It should be good for a couple years anyway. If it had been a full size car I was looking for, it would have been a Grand marque or lincoln, but I'v had really good luck with the little rice burners in the past. Just to reassure you, I wil NEVER turn it into a rise rocket. Econobox-good, Rice rocket-bad. Just see my avatar.

Thanks again guys. I'm pretty pleased so far and hope to be for a long time. And sherm, I can see that there'd be more than a few 'I told you so's if I did switch. That's alright though, 'cause it's not going to happen.
