cowmeat,

Glad to hear you have had good luck with your insights if you don't mind me asking how much did they run you?

I don't mind putting money into a vehicle, but my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been a never ending little shop of horrors. My jeep is that plant saying "feed me". When I was a computer tech I need to haul massive loads of equiptment, and that that job is over I just want a reliable vehicle that cost as little as possible in gas and repairs.

I had a 1995 Geo Prizm and the only repairs that i needed were, starter, alternator, and a clutch. All parts that wear out on most vehicles. I could go 2 to 3 before it needed more money.

This jeep is $1000 every time I need an inspection sticker. Like it or lump it big, heavy vehicles have more joints, links, and suspension junk to brake. All that weight and poor roads here ensure a nice big repair bill every year.

I loved that Geo best car ever. Going to look at an auto version for $800 just passed inspection.

Anyone want to turn my jeep into a hybrid, or blow it up with a 10 gauage? I think I like the 2nd option better. Engine is strong and never let me down, but has a million little joints and stuff that go bad on a regular basis.
