IFJane, i agree with you about the car.
My 1991 Honda is a very cool car. It got upgraded last week, i got the seatbelts REPLACED (lifetime warranty!!) and the window lubed (so it goes up and down easily again) It's worth maybe $1000. It gets fantastic gas mileage, it can carry one bike inside and as many as we can get on our hollywood rack outside.

I figure I've saved thousands by keeping this car. And that frees up $$
to buy a bike with.
