Today we took a ride to Swansy, NH (near Keene) to look at a Ford Escort wagon for sale. Paul has had a love-affair going with Escort wagons. We have had one, and sometimes two, (not to mention his parts cars that we don't talk about) for the last 18 years. Paul's father saw one in New Hamphshire about a month ago that he thought looked perfect. We went up there last Saturday to check it out. It really did look perfect; one owner, 60 thousand miles, no visible rust. It was in a real small-time used car lot; the guy who owned the business lived down the street. Today Paul called him and made plans to meet him at his business. He brought the car down the street to a garage and they put it up on a lift - the frame had rust holes.
So....Paul has decided that his time with Escorts is probably over. We are not sure what is next. We stopped at a couple of car dealers on the way home - Mazda, Hyundai and Honda are some options. We'll see!

Deb, Carman Bronco swears by Mazda's. My Mom loved her Hyundai and they do have a real good warranty. I really like my Subaru. It has all wheel drive which is really great in the snow. Whatever you choose you probably should consider something with all wheel drive living in New England.
