Heh Motor, I thought about renting.

But to rent a new (i.e. "not smelly") econo box for say 4 weeks, it would have cost me $1,650. If I went to Rent-A-Wreck ("Ewww, what's that smell coming from under the seat?") it would have cost me $700-$800.

Seeing how I'm 51 years old and have at least 3 more years before retiring from a pretty physical job (Firefighter), I thought now would be a good time to get an automatic and be done with it.

Except for dental work, this is the first real surgery I've ever had. A kind of a wake up call that my body is starting to fall apart from all those years of punishment!
