Thank you for your complements.
I could fully understand the concept of being retired and sticking to a tight budget. I know $$ doesn't roll in like it did when being gainfully employed, and social security doesn't pay a whole heck of a lot. Being our age, it's not easy finding work. You could try reinventing yourself and start your own business of some sort. I have tried finding work, but to no avail. No one wants to hire people over 50 anymore , (never mind being over 60) when they can find younger people for less money. The older you get, the harder it becomes.
Let's face it, you have to be creative in this life. I didn't go back to work since quitting my last job. I just had enough of their micro managing bullshit. I might have been hasty in my decision, but there's no looking back...regrets perhaps. It's always hard when you're used to a regular paycheck. Fortunately there's no kids to put thru college, etc., so I have that in my favor.
I personally don't think the Malibu will be the Tri-five of the future, but I may be wrong. Maybe more like the '60's-'70's Chevelle. Time will tell.
Good luck finding a solution to get your car in happy driving mode again. I would start with the mechanicals first and go from there.You'll at least be able to drive the car while you're putting it back together...unless you have a beater you could use while the wagon is laid up. My car also was my daily driver for over 20 yrs.
