Of Cars

Well, my nice little car has been acting a little strangely lately, so I decided to have a mechanic look at it in hopes of fixing any problems before they got to big. No such luck. I was informed that my car is slowly dying, and will soon give up the ghost if not fixed... it will cost as much to repair the motor as we originally paid for the car.
So now I face the wonderful prospect of finding a new car. I have decided that I hate car shopping. I looked at a couple cars with good brand reputations, low mileage and decent prices, only to find numerous red flags on each. Two had rebuilt titles with a description of damage that didn't really match up. And one sound extremely suspicious of a scam. Now my parents are looking at one in MT that I really hope checks out. Granted I have only been on the hunt for a week, but as I mentioned before, I hate car shopping. My poor father has had to put up with one to five calls a day with countless questions that probably seem exceptionally obvious to him.
And that is all I know right now... which doesn't amount to very much.
