Sadness

Harvey's beloved Equinox is not long for this world.

Sad face.

We're on the hunt for a replacement.

I thought we might have found it Friday, but obvious scummy small car lot was obviously scummy.

They dared us to bring a mechanic, so Marv and I showed up with a code scanner.

The one Harvey preferred was so very close to getting purchased...  But the airbag light was on and there was no code for it in the scan...  PROBLEM.  The "Service Stabilitrak" message was displayed, but the code scanner directed us to the firmly stuck traction control button.  The Eco-Mode button was likewise stuck.

Putting buttons adjacent to the cup holders is stupid, Dick.

We widened the search today and she got to look at some cars that were the same size, but not Equinoxes.

She likes the RAV-4 a lot, but so does the dealer we saw it at, and it's well out of budget.

We both agree that a Chevy Traverse would be an excellent upgrade for both of us.

We're avoiding getting her one because she knows that with more space she'd fee obligated to use as the hauler for her mother's wheelchair.  That would make her fall out of love with it from the extra wear and tear.

The current plan is to fix Moxie, which was originally her mom's car, and make that the wheelchair transport.  I think I want a Caravan for that!

Monday I'm going to be spending running around looking at cars she's found online and seeing if any will suffice to our needs.
