3.3 L engine is more reliable.

I might get a different quote on an engine...
$10,000 seems very high.
Good Search engine
Hi Folks,
I am wonderng how many MTs know about the search engine Good Search. This is a search engine like Google but it is really neat because for every search 1 penny is donated to the not-for-profit group of your choice. You can pick out the group you would like your donations to go through by clicking on the letter of the alphabet and searching for your charity.
Of course I hope you will choose the group I volunteer with which is Pet Rescue By Judy, http://www.petrescuebyjudy.com
At any rate, this is a wonderful way for MTs to donate money to charity without any real effort on our parts and since there are so many of us we really have a great opportunity to help these groups. You can still use your other search engines but any clicks for charity over on GoodSearch will help! You can also use it when you do online shopping, say for instance on eBay. If you go to GoodSearch and just click on the shopping icon and then on eBay, you can shop as usual but a percentage will be paid to the charity of your choice and it does not cost you anything. They have many places participating in their shopping program.
Thanks for considering this

What about a rebuilt engine? If that won't work...sm
If you have a husband, SO, or brother etc that is handy with tools, put an ad in your local paper and part the car out. Or just have the tools handy and let the people take off the parts they want themselves. Most salvage places will only give you maybe $100 at the most for your car.
If you have a local scrap yard or salvage yard, get the car down there. If your car is a 2003, then the engine block is most likely aluminum, the catalytic converter has platinum in it, and unless you have fancy alloy rims, the metal that rims are made out of is worth something too. And the radiator has copper piping in it. The salvage yard can give you the prices per ton of all the parts of your car from the engine block and tranny to the rims of the tires. The only fly in the ointment is the fact that unless you strip the car yourself, you won't get as much out of it if the salvage yard has to strip it down. They like whatever they take to be "clean." Either way, you would be AMAZED at what you can take to the salvage yard and what they will pay. We took our 1992 Ranger down there after it got totaled in an accident. We made approximately $1,700 off it. Good luck.
I think goodsearch's search engine is YAHOO

If it can't be saved by a rebuilt engine, consider a scrap yard. sm
If you have a husband, SO, or brother, etc that is handy with tools, put an ad in your local paper and part it out. Or you can take it to your local scrap yard. They would take it off your hands. If it is a 2003, the engine block would most likely be aluminum, the catalytic converter has platinum in it, the rims are probably metal of some sort. You would be amazed what your local scrap yard takes. Plus you get money for it too. If you call, they can give you the price per ton for aluminum, steel, etc. We did that to our truck and made approx $1,500 when all was said and done. The only catch is that if they have to take it apart, you will not get as much for everything than if you take it apart. But that is something to consider. Good luck.
sizes
I found juniors to be about 2 sizes bigger than misses. LIke a size 8 jeans in misses for me came to a size 11 juniors.
sizes
I would say it is a 4X or 5X depending on style. Christopher Banks has nice clothes and they don't shrink after the first wash.
clothing sizes
I don't know if this would further offer assistance, but I have also been in junior-sized clothing, and I am in my early 40s. I was a size 0 in high school and am a size 1 or 3 now, depending on the brand/manufacturing, which in and of itself is of consideration. For instance, Old Navy only has even sizes, so I would be in a size 2 for that. Misses and juniors are "cut" differently. Misses are cut wider, with juniors narrower from "east to west" with both tops and pants/jeans. At 5ƈ" and 109 pounds, misses would be too wide/baggy for me, even with consideration of a conversion. I think misses and juniors are two different "animals."
Beagles come in two sizes...
There are 13-inch Beagles and 15-inch Beagles. We had a 15-inch Beagle that weighed 65 pounds. He was solid as a rock, and the vet said that he never had seen such a large Beagle in all the years he has been a vet. We now have another 15-inch Beagle that weighs 45 pounds. If you want a small Beagle, get a 13-inch.
clothing sizes
Shoe size 10 or 11
Misses size 16-18
Just in case the other poster's too small for your shopping finds! ;)
I blew the engine in my truck 7 days after the warranty expired! $7,000 to replace. :( -n/m

I'm terrible at guessing sizes, myself...sm
I know it seems impersonal to a lot of people, but if you can't figure out her size, how about a gift certificate? I always ended up taking clothes back whenever I got them for Xmas...and I learned to appreciate the gift certificates, that way I could pick out what I really wanted myself....just a thought, though.....
Perfume samples/trial sizes
I'd like to be able to buy some trial/samples of various perfumes. I've found a few random ones, even free ones, but I'd like to be able to try some of the expensive brands by just purchasing those small samples or trial sizes. So far I haven't found a very large selection of these websites and the ones I have found only had a few fragrances from which to choose. Anyone know where I can go to buy these for a decent price?
Thanks.
Ask the Department Stores that sell them. They often have travel sizes. NM

Yes, it was Dove. I agree that seeing older models of varied sizes..
helps us to imagine what clothing will look good on different body types and older/younger people. I know that Lands End used to have a feature called My Model, or something like that. You input your height, weight, measurements, even age, face shape, hair color and style, and you had a more or less realistic model, and the online shopper could then try the Lands End clothes on the model before buying. It was a little painful to be truthful and put in my measurements, and then see my cartoon model stand there in her underwear waiting to be dressed! LOL But I have to say that it was helpful. I tried on clothes that I thought would look great, and they didn't. When it came to a bathing suit, I actually tried on a recommended suit that I never imagined would look nice. It looked nice on the model and even better on me when it was delivered. It wasn't perfect, but it was a handy tool. I should go back and see if they still have that feature on their site.
I think Chadwick's might carry larger sizes, too. And stop in a bridal shop & at
