Hello; I am on my second Nissan Sentra. The first was an SE-R I bought new in 1991. Nice driver and very reliable. I drove it hard for ten years with hardly any issues. I sold it and the last time I saw the car it had well over 200 K miles.
I bought a new 2001 Sentra SE to replace it and am still driving it. I got a package with the same 2.0 liter engine as the old SE-R and the manual trans. It does not have the independent rear suspension so is not quite as good at handling. Still has the original battery, water pump, alternator and all. I have replaced brake pads, tires and windshield wipers as they wore. I did replace the radiator hoses, heater hoses, and engine belts after some years as a precaution and carry the originals in the trunk.

Being able to do my own work helps. I replace all the fluids on a schedule. Oil, antifreeze, trans oil, brake fluid, hydraulic clutch fluid, and power steering fluid.

only 112 K miles on the 2001 Sentra so far. I do not drive as much since I retired.

I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado I bought new with 48K miles.

I guess it is time to trade. I like to get something every ten or fifteen years.

Hello; This was taken in Harlan County KY in 1985. I did not take any pictures of the 1993 blizzard here, but it was worse.

You saw what happened. Rather just avoid where possible.

You guys with nocturnal fish, do yours get antsy before lights off? My knives and syno are getting lively under the wood and it's half an hour to lights off, they immediately come out then. Does anyone else experience this?
 
I haven't.
I just came in from shoveling...did the driveway,the walkway in front of the house and cleared off my car.Good workout but my lower back is screaming now so the wife's car will have to wait til later.

Hello; Very funny. I taught in coastal North Carolina for a time. There were students there who had never seen snow on the ground.
I will gladly be willing to transfer all the future snow I am due to get over to you. I have seen enough.

I only recently saw snow on the ground in canada/NY. But it was old packed snow. I want to see the fresh fluffy stuff
