Try to keep this short. Yesterday morning, wife going to work, car no start. She took me to work and took my truck to work. Son put a new battery in the car mid afternoon, ran great! This a.m. same thing, no start, I went to work, she worked from home. Call our mechanic, and said "Starter" issue. NOW, the car is a 2013, with about 100 and 5 thousand miles on it, not stating the make and or model, BUT it was a factory battery, giving us about 7 + years of use!! Great job there! SOO it is currently getting a new starter in it. NOW for the time thing, she stated "it is about time, for me to get a new car". Looks like in the next week, 2, or 3, I might be going out to breakfast, in one car, and returning in something different.

Yep, went through the same thing last month, except I got by with just a battery. she gets a new ride while I keep the old truck rolling, reckon we just keep on spoiling them.

Dave, It takes us a long time to find the next new car, sometimes a couple years. Good luck. You driving it up to see me? Regards, Chris

Dave, yep it IS time to get your loving wife a new car. I can recommend a couple. Have her call me and I'll 'splain what is best about each model. Shouldn't be more 'n about 50,000.
Chris, if he doesn't have a car, I'll probably have to drive him up to visit. I'm looking for an excuse to come see the new building anyway, and while I'm there, I may have to get me a bottle of that maple mustard.

Hey Dave!! Since you're in a new car buying mood, my betrothed has mentioned a new car a few times. You might as well pick her one up while you're at it. Make, model, and color is completely up to you

Why would you want to replace a car that isn't even broke in yet. My old 01 burb has 3500,000 miles on it. Plan on getting a half a million miles out of it! Darrel

My 04 Silverado is running like a top and it's got almost 175k on it. I'd be asking HOW the starter can cause the battery to go dead..... That I don't understand.
