Took our '02 Impala, the one that saw seven Canadian winters and over 400K km, in for a tune-up and to inquire about a strange knocking sound/feel. The mechanic, who does not sell cars, advised me to not drive it any more because the frame had rusted through. He didn't even want us to drive it home. I had said I would drive it until the wheels fell off and they almost did... literally.
This is a month I have no shops scheduled. I do mostly gas shops these days, and there were no yellow sign monthlies in my area this month. No green sign shops are on the board in my area yet. No bonuses were offered for the red and whites, either. None. There won't likely be any reason to leave town for shopping for about a month.
We were a one-vehicle household for years, and can be one again. It will be goofy dragging the kid-hauling van on a shopping route, but I guess I wouldn't run out of room in the tank so quickly.
