We are driving out to Sauvie Island this afternoon to get some fresh, JUICY, peaches and some green beans and whatever else we can find that sounds good and screams SUMMER.

Carol - Sounds like a FUN afternoon. I'm off to Salem to get my new plates. Just another wasted day at a car dealership.

Never having bought a car myself I don't know how the license plate dealy works but I sort of thought they were mailed to you or to the dealer. Did you go all the way to Salem to buy your car?

Carol - From where I live, Salem is actually closer than Portland and the dealers were more willing to work out a real deal. My extended warranty and maintenance were extras the dealer threw in to make the sale. I'll never have to pay for any service for as long as I own the car. They'll even replace the windshield wipers twice a year if I want. It was a pretty good deal for me and the dealers in Portland wouldn't even come close.

Also, there are a couple of dealers in Portland that I WON'T deal with at all due to their reputations. I would never buy a car from them... period.

In Oregon, car dealers do all the DMV paperwork & they get the plates from the state. I could have had them mailed to me but I chose to have them put them on. Besides, I had a couple of questions I wanted to ask their service techs. It gave me a chance to learn a little more about the way the car's stuff worked. The car I bought didn't come with a published owner's manual... It's preloaded into the car's navigation/entertainment system. Their parts department could have sold me one but I went online & downloaded & printed one for free. I just had a couple of questions about stuff that wasn't covered.
