Transportation Issues
If there’s one thing that drives me up the wall, it’s vehicle maintenance (pun intended). Lately, it seems my trusty 1997 Honda CRV has been ailing. A few months ago, my exhaust went bad. It’s slowly starting to annoy me to the point of wanting to get it fixed. Last week, my radiator went bad. This week, it seems I have an oil leak.
As shocking as this might sound, I’m not a gear-head when it comes to cars. I care nothing about cars and have no desire to learn more about cars. Sad, but true - and much to the chagrin of my father, who is very knowledgeable about cars. I just want the thing to get me from point A to point B with as little hassle as possible. I don’t have to have a fancy car, but just dependable.
The CRV has 105,000 miles. It’s a Honda, so it should be able to run for a good while longer without any major issues - at least 50,000 miles I’d say. But, I’m starting to get tired of putting money into it. The question is whether or not I want to pull the trigger on getting a new(er) vehicle. Decisions, decisions…
