Heh....my blue Chevy Van died last weekend. After owning it for 11 years, putting 100,000 miles on it, and having rebuilt engine and tranny put it in about 9 years ago, the engine seized up after blowing a head gasket.
I sold it for scrap last week for $150. Bought it in 99 for 3 grand, put in about 5 grand over the years. *sigh*
Fucking cars.
What truly sucks is that a van is extremely useful. From hauling band gear, or plywood from Home Depot, or my lawnmower, or going on vacation in it and sleeping in the back at rest stops, or going on road trips with friends to concerts......now I cannot do all that. Fortunately, I still have a backup.....main vehicle is a Jeep Grand Cherokee....backup is a piece of shit Isuzu Rodeo that needs rear end work.
Ah well.
If this was 150 years ago we would be talking about our horses.Comment

Lexuses are alright, but they're no BMWs.
In the Lexus I hear all the road noise from tires and suspension and it gets pretty loud if you drive as fast as I do on occasion.
Not so with BMW's, I have had two sevens and a 325 in the past and IMO even a Benz S-class can't beat a base 3 series these days.Comment
