The Answer is: $2,000

Question: How much does it cost to repair a broken cam shaft?
Remember that next time you see it on Jeopardy.
Of course the repair shop told us that we could get my van fixed, but because the cam shaft broke, there's no guarantee that they'll get all of the metal out of the engine.
We could be looking at another $2,000 in six months if something goes wrong again.
With that in mind, DH and I went new car shopping.
This is what we got:


A Subaru Forester.
This is the first time I've purchased a new (or used) car where I don't have to worry about putting in a car seat.
Heaven.
