The status of my car

A passed another nifty milestone on the odometer today, and decided to commemorate it with a picture:

My car has made it past the 9 year mark, but I am hearing all sorts of new and scary-sounding noises now, that I didn't used to hear. So, I either need to start putting some money into this thing, or I need to start looking for a new car.

So, even though my initial plan was to keep this car for a full 10 years, I have started looking to see what is available in the market. I haven't done too much work, as of yet (only about 7 test drives), but it is looking like I'm going to be going the new car route.

But then again, we'll see what happens over the course of the next month and a half. :)
