Serious sounding knock, top of engine (2.8 12v), no detectable rythm, adding oil did not help..

Very hard winter...that was another killer for mine.

Damnit, I may have to drive a Honda Civic for a couple of years

I almost took both of my Audis up to the local Honda dealer...

I was really sick of dealing with 2 old German cars in zubzero temps for 2 months.

I'm actually going to talk to the Subaru salesman

When I go to get my car...Valley motors also sells subies, maybe I can get a good deal on trade in, and roll what I owe into a new car/used-assured car.

Hondas are solid, but you may be stuck needing 4WD...Subaru or American SUV may be your best bet, living atop MT Hansen

I was actually considering the Honda Pilot SUV..

The domestics are too expensive and truck like..

As of right now, I am looking for a low mile 99 a6 avant, and Heather will drive the '98 A4.

I sent you an email over the winter, I guess you didn't get it? Did you ever make it up to VT for the holidays?

I was up, but very busy

seems whenever I come up, the family takes all my time. I miss em and I don't get to see them that often. Also saw some good friends from highschool that I hadn't seen in years.

Got to ride my parent's snowmobiles

Arctic cats, a 600 and a 550, both have plenty of kick!

Glad to hear your daughter is doing well....I did get your email, but it was awile ago. I may not have responded with the assumption that you were very busy being daddy at that time
