Good luck.

That said, I'd go car shopping. Have you seen the sales papers this weekend? Are you going to look around? The 4th of July sales are pretty hot. Here, anyway.

Monkey Mama - yes, I've been doing some car shopping. I went out yesterday & for a little today. The problem is that the dealers are all closed tomorrow and there appears to be no real 4th of July promomtions. Its exactly the opposite of what I thought the situation would be! I am pretty close to being settled on the car I want to go with. I will likely be making the purchase on Monday.

I am taking tonight/tomorrow to do some more research (especially around reviews). I am talking this over with my parents (for advice and experience) and am trying to make this as unemotional a decision as possible. Thanks for the comments/advice!
