Get rid of the Old and Bring in the crappy

We have loved our Red Honda Odyssey.
It's been a good, reliable, family member.
We love Hondas (does that plug get us a free car maybe?)
But, our van had a trillion miles on it and was starting to get elderly.
Hence, it was time to say bah-bye.
 
 Jeff got the lookin' bug and came home one day with a new (not brand new) Odyssey.
Our first time buying a used car.
We were so excited to have the 2008 updates and gadgets...
side windows going up and down
sun roof
bigger DVD screen
and so on. 
However, as of this posting, 1 month later, that darn car has been in the shop twice...
once to get something replaced that was still covered under warranty. (2 days)
And, once to replace the engine.
Yep
You heard that right.
a new engine.
It's been in the shop for over a week now
needing a new engine.
A new engine!
I won't get into the story of it all but now we have mixed feelings about used cars
and about Hondas.
That bleepity bleepity blasted car.

We love Hondas (although our last 5 cars have been Toyotas). You must have gotten a lemon!!! Hope it's out of the shop soon. We need to get together!
