Good morning Overtaxed, JenB

Do you or anyone else know where to get anything that prevents pop ups? I think I saw a thread somewhere that discussed some shareware or something that could fight them.

I don't necessarily think (though (I'm not a mechanic) that the engine will fall out so much as the attachments will start to let go. Like the water pump, transmission, etc. But at 100,000 miles, some of that stuff may have already been replaced.

Good Morning!

I use Pop Up Stopper but perhaps the other hobbits have recommendations.

I've had my car for the whole 155,000+ miles...I think I'm due for a new grocery-getter!

Good morning Hobbits and assorted others... looks like another slow day in the Hole. Has anyone made breakfast yet?

Sounds like a short range car...if you decide to replace it, what do you think you'll look for?

Dunno...I'm taking suggestions. Thinking about a Saturn L300, Taurus, Regal (if I can get a good price.)

I like pickup trucks, but maybe that's not such a good choice for a lady.

hehe, here in Texas, there are plenty of ladies who love their pickup trucks!

Thought about a truck but I don't know what I'd do with all that bed most of the time and it seems to me it would be hard to get groceries in and out of that compartment behind the seat.

I want 6 cylinders, 4 doors, trunk space with fold-down back seats and a cup holder. :) I don't like the way compacts ride or blow all over the highway when a semi passes.

Don't see that too much here. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if Hair, as a horselady, has one.

Not too sure about pasta for breakfast...

Come to think of it, the Gondorians probably would drive lincolns or Mercedes, the "horseboys" of Rohan, pickup trucks.

Overtaxed, do you think the Elves would drive Volvos?

Probably....they'd drive a snooty car. :)

What's a good sensible hobbit car? (that comes with 0% interest for up to 60 months?)

It's no fun sneaking solo.

Ha! Orcs would drive that nasty little East German car, from before the fall of communism... what was it called? Oh, yes, the Trabant.

But solo sneaks are more effective.

I don't have to sneak, I still have the triple-naught Precious. :)

Or a Yugo if you could find one that will run.
