Orion (our 2006 CR-V) is in the shop.

Looking at a 4k to 5k price tag. Why? Because there's at least one oil leak, if not more and that means seals need replacing.

Guy started to say it might be more feasible to replace the car, & I was like, nope, we are not in a position for a new vehicle right now.

So we repair and get another 5-10 years out of him. Especially since this is the only serious issue with him. (Knock on wood.)

Maybe next year we'll be better able to afford a second vehicle.

Meanwhile, we tighten the belts another notch, keep our heads down and keep going.
