If she is your ex, and you are her designated mechanic, I would buy her a Honda!

Yeah Jimmy I hear you on that one. Thing is I convinced her to trade out her Toyota 6 years ago for the 240D. When it is running she loves it. When something goes wrong she reminds me of her cheap to fix Toyota. The thing was more like a golf cart than a car but she did have it when she lived in Colorado and I think it still might be on the road around town. I have a standing offer of $1000 anytime she wants to dump the 240D but like the rest of us I think she is hooked.

No more buyin her anything on this end. I don't mind helping out when money doesn't need to exchange hands. Friendship and finances don't go well together.
