Well, my car recently had a problem with the engine where water was leaking
into the place that holds the oil. Now I have to sell my car which means a lot to me because a replacement engine costs just as much as the vehicle does. It is kind of a bummer so these past couple of days have been a bit rough on me. I guess you never know how much you'll miss a car until you discover that it'll either be pounded into a cube or bought by someone. The worst part is that now I have to drive another car that is only a year younger than mine was. Does anyone know anything about the Chevy Baretta? I know this topic has nothing to do with cats but indirectly it'll make transport a bit harder since there isn't much seat space in a Baretta which is a 2 door. The cats may not like the Baretta which is my sister's current car. Right now it is hard for me to let go of my Grand Am which got me to plenty of nice places including two cat shows. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com LOL!! Oh man. I did this same thing once. But I *did* sign it with love. I was so embarassed to have sent it to the NG. Everyone thought my mom was very lucky  Karen

I don't know anything about Berettas, but you'll miss your Grand Am. My daughter has had hers since '95, 130,000 miles on it, and I have *never* seen a car be more reliable. I know what you mean about transport, though; esp. with a 2door it's hard to wedge the carrier into the back. Sherry

I don't know if your mechanic told you this or not, but it is most likely a head gasket that needs replacing and can be done for a few hundred dollars. -mhd

Not wanting to soak up this thread (this usenet message area is for cats you
know) my mechanic said that a head gasket could be a possibility but seems to conclude that the engine is a total loss even though I was able to drive it into his shop. The car can be driven a short distance but he recommended a re-built engine or a new one as the engine at the time was overheating. Even if I got an engine from a junked Grand Am for $600 I'd still be charged at least $1000 for labor. I was also told a re-built engine would be $1800 at least and probably another $1000 for labor. Even a new engine would set me back $2000. I guess I don't have too many options here. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com To the OP...
