thanks fatlady and bearmaiden, you both helped tremendously...yeah, I do have to reevaluate...bearmaiden, you DONT mind riding the train...I'm not too worried bout choclahontas...so my only concern is the parents and tinyone, and for now MMB...
the issues with kias is that they don't have a five-ten year mark history...I got the second or third generation (I think second)...however I have found that buying parts for the car is REALLY difficult and hard to find...I do have a hole in my oil tank which my mechanic sealed cause we couldn't find the cover...
so the more I write, the more I feel I should dump it while I can...the car averaged 1,080.00 a year, which is about 90 a month to own...I've gotten my money's worth on this vehicle...
so I'm going to the greek electric guy to see what's going on and from there I will better decide what to do...
but a smaller car sounds great...lower fuel costs and I can actually find better parking...
I still want feedback folks...

now since all involved are so smart why do I get my period every two to three months? I had a blood test last year and my hormone and thyroid levels are normal...but according to bigbears scale I've gained about 14 pounds in the two months I haven't had a period...the Dr's seem to think all is well...
