we're looking for a new old car, as we will need one car each to go to work from next week on. today we looked at an opel kadett. it was blue and nice, and the heating worked great (the heating system is the most important thing in a car, for those of you who don't know much about cars). unfortunately there was a weird sound from the engine (which is another quite important thing in a car)... when i consulted my brother the car expert over the phone he said something like: "it might be no problem at all, but the entire engine might have to be replaced". which didn't really help us much in our decision... apparently replacing the engine is no big deal, at least not if you are either of my brothers the car experts.

the engine didn't worry my brother much, but he was more negative to the rust in the floor (which i didn't pay much attention to, as i wasn't planning on looking under the mat very often). we'll have to do some thinking tonight! maybe we woun't be the proud owners of a blue opel after all...  ¶ 10:24 PM
