Hey BD, thought we lost you again.  Any improvements in the car search market?

We're trying to find the most reliable in our price range of $0.00 to $20,000 max.  Since we can't go back to Toyota, that leaves the Honda Civic (Rated excellent for reliability) by Consumers Report.  They are also having a sale on the 2016 Hyundia Elantras Value, which has allot of interesting features, heated seats, sun roof, back up camera, and I think blind spot, for about $17,500.  It's rated by Consumers Report on reliability of 33% above average.  And the Kia Soul +, due to I'm getting old and it's easy for me to get in and out of (never thought I'd be saying that), and it's 33% above average for reliability, and also high in safety.  So I think that's the next ones we are going to look at.  The Toyota Corolla was rated 30% above average on reliability (Very Good I think).  So the Hyundia and Kia models we are looking at are on par with a Toyota.  I never thought I'd say that either...

Here goes my head spinning again.

Mine is swimming too.  My wife is off Thurs, Friday, and Saturday, so we can go car shopping.  But since she get's off Thurs morning, she'll sleep all day Thurs (no shopping). Friday we have to do the grocery shopping for her dead beat brother, which now involves me since she doesn't have a car.  And, Saturday I have to babysit.  Being retired I have all the time in the world, but I still can't do anything... ugh..!!!

Maybe you should just go back to work and forget all this retirement shit before it kills you.

Sounds like you have a plan.

It does?

I didn't say it was a good plan!

FYI: 
Cigar Page e-mail of their daily deal is almost a repeat of a deal they had two weeks ago on Buena Vista cigars (listed on CI BLOB). I bit last time 3 boxes of 10 for under $60. Cigars are well constructed, no cello with neck & foot bands, nice box with cedar inserts. I'm pleased with the cigar @ $2 a stick. Probably won't win any CA awards, but a good solid smoke. Box says, "Geneve, Switzerland". Better than the Guantanamera Habano Crystales I had last night.

I've thought of Subaru, it keep coming in the top ratings of new cars.  The only problem is, the only Subaru dealer is way out in St. Louis, and I don't think I can deal with that traffic anymore.

Understandable - but if you get a Subaru you will only go to the dealership 1x/yr for an oil change

No kidding....!  I never thought my golden years would be spent babysitting and watching Thomas the Train all day. But I do enjoy the grandkids.  I told the 3 year old the other day, "It won't be long you'll be smarter than pawpa...!"  He replied, "I already am...."  Now where do that learn that crap at 3 years old...

I only drive 1,000 miles a year.  The car may be rusted up by the time I get it in for it's 1st oil change...

Afternoon gents, sorry I can't stay on, but just read a few pages.
BD, don't buy a KIA (or Hyundai) without consulting with KC first.
I've had good cars with Honda.  PC, aside Subaru's are reliable & lasting ...
my brother got way over 200k miles on his before getting another car.
Flip was not slow on the uptake in replying to Raz's comment on smoking waffles.
He said after a year his smoked straight and true.  I thought that was pretty funny &
quick witted.  Tony, thanks for sending the photos, I echo TxDave, please keep 'em coming, but also the travelogue of daily events. Did 3Bean reach his destination?  What goes up, must come down. (sad for my modest 401k ... ouch). Hope you guys are right about ignoring it for a couple months.  Supposing this time, it doesn't rebound?
Okay, off to get some lunch & fire up another of those Buena Vistas with afternoon coffee to see if I want to get some more.

Well, I have a Redd's Green Apple Ale, and a Swag Black waiting for me.  I've never had the Swag before, but it smells nice.  Can't wait to light it and see how it goes..
