dewd. you are a godsend. absolutely and purely -- a godsend. now, i've decided it'll be easier to rent, then i can take my time about buying. once r gets there (he's staying behind to pack everything [this terrifies me, mad scientist that he is :)]), we can go back to sharing the car and i'll have done the requisite consumer reports on a decent, late-model used car.
suggestions for decent used cars? toyotahondanissan is my motto. i had to have my nissan towed once and the tow truck driver said he hardly ever tows toyotahondanissans.
