Woohoo I made arrangements to buy a van on Monday. It's only costing 350.00 for the car it's an old 1991 dodge caravan. Hopefully it will pass emmissions and safety inspections without having to do to much work on it but I just need something so the next time I need to go to the hospital I can get there. Last time was a nightmare.

Cross your fingers for me all.

HOOPER! That is great! [grin]
I hope it passes the tests and you can hit the road when you want to.

You might get a wild hair and end up in Kentucky! [shocked]

It's a combination of burgandy and rust lol. That will be the first thing I do. Take the rust off and prime it so it doesn't get auto leprocsy lol.

TK...I had a Caravan that I literally drove forever....I can't even remember how many years I drove that thing..it had a million miles on it. When I finally HAD to get rid of it (it would only go in reverse)...I traded it in on another Caravan...I love them! this one I have had for 7 years now...it has over 156,000 miles on it..I have just had to do maintenece care on it...So...maybe the one you are getting is a Gem like mine have been! I am proud you are getting some wheels...good for you!!! [thumb]

No I didn't get the van. With my roommate acting up I don't feel I can obligate myself to the insurance payments. They would be impossible at the moment to make without the extra income so I'm just going to continue to do without.
