worst investment

Everyone knows what the worst investment is...a car. It is so irritating. I mean, as soon as you drive a brand new car off the lot, it's value diminishes quickly. So, my crappy Ford (pick your acronym - Fix or repair daily; Found on roadside dead) Taurus has been giving me problems lately. I brought it to my mechanic and it was a pretty cheap fix. Still, it has been nothing but problems lately and I discovered that their may be an internal problem with the car's transmission. Talk about expensive!!! There's no way I'm putting a new transmission into my car. Anyway, since I can have my car paid off in a couple of months, I have been hoping that it will last that long so I don't have to roll my old loan in with my new one. Realizing that this may not be a realistic option, my wife and I went car shopping the other day just to get a feel for our options. We actually found a couple of used cars we liked within our price range. I think we're leaning toward a 2003 Subaru Legacy with 70,000 miles on it. There's also a 2002 Honda Accord with the same mileage. I test-drove the Legacy and loved it. Regardless what I buy, I can promise one thing...it will not be American! I refuse to buy Ford, Chevy, or Dodge. Here's to hoping that my car holds out a little longer, so I can save myself from having to make worse what is already going to be a bad investment, no matter how you look at it. Yet, it's one I have no choice but to make.
