sunfalcon- that was my original plan but I just can't do it based on the job I took last year. I cover 4 states and drive extensively (20,000 miles last year alone). Little things here and there are starting to go wrong and I just can't risk being in the middle of nowhere with a broken down car. Obviously, I know nothing about cars and as a single female I feel a bit vulnerable. I am lucky to have a great mechanic, but he is here in Chicago and won't be much help if I have a problem in Akron, OH.
The other thing is that the car is really too small for my job. I am regularly carrying hundreds of pounds of trade show freight and samples and while I am a REALLY good packer and can get an INCREDIBLE amount of stuff into the Integra, it is difficult lifting heavy things in and out of the hatch.
If I had a regular office job it would be a different story-I wouldn't dream of getting rid of it!
