Is there a 12-step group for compulsive writers?

Goodbye, VW

Published by Helen | Filed under Random

I’m about ready to trade in my wonderful-when-it’s-not-constantly-ailing VW, now that I’m almost not upside down on the loan. Eyeing the Toyota line–can’t afford a hybrid, yet, but those smaller cars get better than 30 mpg highway, which is the bulk of my commute.

We’re going out for test-drives this weekend. Already drove a Yaris sedan around a bit, and want to compare it to the Corolla. Hoping I can afford a Matrix, but we’ll see, we’ll see. I may also go with Scion.

Highly overworked right now. Hence, I need to take a leave of absence from Ask the Matriarch for a bit, right on the eve of its first anniversary. More news when I can breathe again.

    A friend of mine once gave me a good piece of advice: “Breathe from both ends!”

    I find it helps.

    If nothing else, it makes me giggle!

  2. Dawgdays Says:

    We have a Highlander Hybrid and RAV4, and we used to have a Previa. I think we would classify ourselves as Toyota fans.

    From what I’ve seen in the reviews, I’d go for to the Corolla, if you can swing it.

    We also have a Civic, and like Hondas too.

  3. Progressive Pragmatist Says:

    I’m a self-righteous Prius owner.
    The dealer loaned me a Yaris when they were working on my Prius. I think Toyota was slacking when they made the Yaris or they blew the engineering budget on the Prius.
