Car Update

Well, I am being forced to buy a vehicle. My sister called last night as apparently word has spread about my dilemna. I was hoping for the sisterly "Don't worry, everything will be okay, let's open a bottle of wine and drink while we are on the phone." But NO...I get "THANK GOD!! I have money on when that car would break down!!" A bit of background...I was straight out of university. Working 3 jobs back in the early 90s when there were NO JOBS here. I saved and saved and saved for this car. I have not been in the car market for 15 years...I love "The Cav"!! I even considered putting racing stripes on it once...anyway, I am now shopping for a vehicle...will keep you updated.
Training...I was up to go for a run today but darn it, the weather is the shits! Tomorrow is supposed to be warmed up as is Saturday. So I promise to get my runs in before we leave for Edmonton. And I am thinking i am going to have to pull a half marathon out of my a** next weekend...somehow...I am going to be a back of the packer on the 23rd...and proud of it!!

Buy a Honda. My 83 Accord hatchback lasted more than 13 years and more than 400,000 Km. Current Accord is 4 years and 120,000 K, no issues.

Yes they are $$$, but the reliability is worth it.
