    Anyway the best car I've ever owned was a ragged out 96 Camry. Other than gas and a quart or so of oil, that car cost me a grand total of $100 USD to operate over the course of seven months. I bought of for $1000 and solid it 7 months later for $900. I saw another 3rd gen Camry wagon the other day and nearly jumped out of my seat! Those are just fantastic cars.

    I think they make pretty solid chasses; it's more the electronics that are the problem. That's why the old Mercedes diesels with no ECUs are probably the best German cars ever.

    Is the monitoring just a precaution based on anything in particular, will she have to go in every day until he arrives?

    Nurses discharge us at their discretion.

    Within 24 hrs of said non stress test, a doctor has to review and either OK it or call us back in for another non stress test.

    We got called in Saturday after Friday's test and now called in today after yesterday's test.

    I bought a thing this morning. Plug and Play for once. Feels weird not having to rebuild it.

    Ooof. I could barely handle myself when I had it, hope they can get some help. Talk about terrible timing.

    Some certainly have a higher tolerance. It's not even that really it's just that you got to understand that you're going to have to do some work and pretty regularly obviously there are some specific ones you don't touch it all and those happen to be your favorite but that's probably where the pain part comes in

    Yep. And hey, technically I'm not outta warranty yet, got a whole 9 months left haha.

    But I wouldn't jump into an old VW with questionable history/high miles unless it was purposefully a project car.
    Or something weird, like a Baja Bug build or Golf Country.

    And the quirky stuff some manufacturers do, like VW putting silica packs in coolant reservoirs.
