Guess I'm just getting tired of the Corolla, I've had it over 9 years & it's
got about 95,000 miles on it. Nothing really wrong with it (knock wood)
except that I've had to replace the fan blower motor 3 times. I like the
thought of a hatchback, years ago I had a Corolla FX which was a hatchback &
it really came in handy. Girl at work bought a new car over the weekend so
that makes me want one even more. I'll just try to save as much as possible
towards a down payment & hope a deal comes along.
