had to make an unpleasant decision.

A couple of weeks ago, I began having problems with my Saturn once again. This latest issue marked the seventh time this "new" vehicle was going to require warranty work in the 14 months that I owned it. The decision was made to get rid of the car while it had some warranty still left and before it had the opportunity to break after it expired.

Unfortunately, I also had alot of negative equity in that vehicle. Getting rid of the VUE also meant that other vehicles had to go so that I could afford it's replacement. This means my Daewoo Lanos, and the Euro 240D also ended up on the chopping block.

The three vehicles went in trade for a leftover 2003 Toyota Prius. The hybrid system has had plenty of time to prove itself reliable, and also means mucho fuel economy on my lengthy commute.

I'll still keep the old 59 and just concentrate on it's resurrection. I'll miss the Euro alot.
