Talon Trouble

So it finally happened, the Talon I have had since highschool died. :( Cody was driving home from work a week or so ago, he was going 65 mph on the highway, and he said all of a sudden it just died. He had to try and steer it off the highway (with no power and it is AWD) during rush hour. He somehow made it to a parking lot. Once it was towed to our mechanic, we learned the next day that the timing belt had jumped just a little bit, but it was enough to throw the pistons into the valves in cylinders 1 and 4. So, no more Talon. It's a bummer too, because those cars are rare, and even with it being as old as it is, I could have gotten $5000 for it on the street. Oh well, too late now. We ended up selling it to a junkyard for a few hundred dollars.

For the moment, I drove the Honda to Cody and he is now driving that every day. I, on the other hand, only have my government vehicle to get to and from work. I have no vehicle to run errands in, but I will make it work for now. We are working on saving up for a new car. It is definitely a buyers market right now, so maybe we can find some good deals.
