Death of a silver bullet...
The silver bullet died today, due to causes having something to do with a timing belt...blast it all! The first car I drove in High School was simply named 'The King', it was a 1991 Toyota Tercel, with no air, no radio, and some 150,000 miles on it when I first started driving it. To my High School friends without cars of their own, it was 'The King'. It had it's glory days, and then died during my freshman year at college when the engine burned up because it didn't have any oil in it. There is still an ongoing debate in my family who's fault that was, but I still claim my innocence in the matter. So I moved onward and upward and bought a 2001 Hyundai Accent which my grandpa named 'The Silver Bullet'. I did A LOT of driving back and forth from Utah to California my college years, stopping often in Las Vegas where my grandparents live. I drove that car until Matt and I got married, and being the generous wife I am, I have allowed him the privileged of driving it the last 2 years. Well, here we are 7 years later and the ride is over. The mechanic says we are welcome to dump $1500 in it to keep the dream alive, but I think I'm gonna let this one go.... So if anyone has any great deals on a cheap car for my good husband, let us know, cause we'll be looking!

ask my brother Mat he goes to the las vegas auctions and get's great deals on cars there. Just let him know what you are looking for and he will do his best.
I'll admit being super envious of your darling car. I'm sad to hear of its demise.
Chad is currently driving a 18 year old Acura, which is running only on faith.
Oh man.. cars. They are so expensive! We get our cars from my dad's friend in Salt Lake - Anderson Motor. He goes to the auctions too. So you tell him what you want, and your price range and he tried to get it. My brother just bought a Ford Fusion from him. Good luck with the car search!
