Just an update here for kicks:

My Kia now has 416K on it. Second engine. Third tranny. Three wrecks and a branded title. Still runs like a bat outa hell and gets over 30 miles to the gallon. The old car and I have paid off over 90k of debt and that includes a mortgage.
Yea.....I think Kia's are worth keeping around.
