Yes, our Suburu hung on for as long as it could, but after a rear-ending a recent snowy day, it was clear that it wasn't going to be with us for the long haul. When the transmission started acting up, we knew it was time to trade in and trade up.
After much research and consultation with family experts, we settled on the Honda Civic as our car of choice. Heath then went in to super sleuth mode to find the best deal in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. This search took us to Lansing, IL—a sad town—and Napleton River Oaks Honda. There—after much cajoling with Frankie, our salesguy, and his bosses—we struck a deal on an '07 model, getting it for a couple thousand less than most of the '06 models we'd seen online.

No more big purchases for a while...
