Speaking of... Getting to work early - page 2
Reading another thread got me thinking about this...I always get to work at least a half hour before my shift starts. Do I want to or like to work for free? Hell no! But I really don't know how else... Read More
0Nov 19, '12 by AnonRNCI agree w/PP nurse2033: You are working for free & are making other nurses look bad.
Perhaps you could streamline the essential info you need to start your rounds/medpass...then go back later for the details.
I don't think anyone on my unit does this BUT I concede that NICU is very different from many other environments. -
1Nov 19, '12 by BostonTerrierLoverRNLol, I do everything in my power to get to work on time! I work ED, so I know as soon as they catch the first sign of my presence- they are going to scatter like a covey of frightened Quail to the Exits, lol (if their are no patients)- otherwise, I've had report start at the time clock 5 minutes early, with my lunch, drinks, and other junk in tow.
I understand your reasoning, agree with previous posters. Besides, I never knew who my crew would be before report at any facility I worked at on the floors except one, and I didn't want to be there a second longer than required.LexRaven likes this. -
0Nov 19, '12 by jrsmrsJust to be clear, a good 90% of the nurses where I work come in early. The ones who don't are more or less skipping chart checks from what I can tell (although I'm usually too busy to really pay a lot of attention), but i think i can only name maybe 3 nurses that i know of that don't come in til right on time. And I never do patient care before shift, just prep work going over charts, etc. This really is the status quo here, so I'm surprised to hear otherwise. And no, we do not have any aids here. I work in Canada, on a cardiac unit, and I've got 5 pts all to myself during the day. Sometimes a pick-up as well so I end up with 6. We also do get our assignments way ahead. We don't do assignments based on acuity, they are based on room #. Schedules are done a good week in advance so we all know what section we are in ahead of time.
2Nov 19, '12 by BostonTerrierLoverRNA week ahead?
I'd say this is impossible in 90% of healthcare facilities. But, if coming in 30min-1hr early unpaid, working off the clock despite how many do it, and it is not getting you in trouble-knock yourself out!
I'm sure your employer loves the cheap labor, and they won't even have to take the time to discover a way to fix this problem(I.e. hiring UAP's, getting night shift to do a few baths, etc.). If a problem isn't brought to their attention- I can guarantee that if they see no problems, that the status quo will continue. Your question was do others do this practice- me No Way without Pay -
0Nov 19, '12 by redhead_NURSE98!Quote from jrsmrsBreaks? What are breaks? That's where you're winning on this deal!There is no way if I spent a half hour-45 mins prepping after start of shift that I would ever get all my stuff done on time and get out for breaks.
I get there about 15 min early just because I want to be on time in the event of traffic etc. But when I'm in charge I hate when people are there early because they just stand at the nurse's station staring at me as I make out the assignment, or placing "McDonald's type orders" for "I don't want Room 13, give me the same people I had five days ago (um this is a hospital, all of those people have been discharged), don't put me on two hallways" etc. -
0Nov 19, '12 by hherrnQuote from nurse2033I see this one a lot. Got any examples of people who lost licenses from starting work early?You are to be applauded for your dedication but you are enabling poor management. If you can't get your job done in the time allotted you should bring this to the attention of your boss and work for a solution. Are you being paid for the time? If not, not are not covered under your employers liability because you are not actually working. It is illegal for you to work without being paid. You are putting your license at risk. You are also making the other nurses who do show up on time look like they can't do their work. After all, you get things done... I think you are making a big mistake.
Agree 100% with the rest. If this is common practice in your unit, managent knows, and tacitly aproves. -
0Nov 19, '12 by jrsmrsDo you all have overlap of shifts, or....? We don't have any overlap, so even if I only wanted to get report, I'd still have to go in a few mins early or else the previous shift would have to stay late to give me report.For those that don't do chart checks at start of shift, when do you do them?
1Nov 19, '12 by jrsmrsAlso, since there is no overlap of shifts, at 0730 (or whenever my shift starts), it is me and only me who is responsible for those pts. If I don't know anything about them, what if the doo-doo hits the fan? I wouldn't know anything about their dx, code status, hx, nothing. Last night for example, I picked up a pt at 1930 after someone called in sick, and literally as I was printing off his tele strip at 1930, his tele cut out. Went to check on him, he was hunched over the end of his bed, hard to rouse etc. Had I not already done my research on this guy and knew his story, I would have been working in the dark. I wouldn't want to walk into that with no background.
As an aside, the guy went down the shiitter fast. Had to call rapid response, portable tele battery died on the run upstairs to icu. Plugged it in when we got there and he was in vfib. Literally, the guy had been talking to us just seconds before. Bad nightanotherone likes this. -
0Nov 19, '12 by PediLove2147I get to work at 0700. The assignment is done on the previous shift so I grab my patient list and start looking through their HPI and MAR. Everything is on the computer, no chart checks to do. We start getting report at 0715. We then have safety huddle at 0745. I rarely see a patient before 0800 unless there is a reason for it. We have aids that do blood sugars, vitals, and AM care. We have a few people that get to work early, most people get they're on time or late.
I personally like getting there 15 or so minutes early, I like reading about my patients prior to getting report so I can ask questions but I can't get up early enough so on time it is!

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving

When I began seminary as a Unitarian Universalist (UU) I was told quite clearly by both my Christian professors and fellow UU students that I had better be prepared to "jump through hoops" for the Ministerial Fellowship Committee (MFC). I had clear aspirations, and two kids to feed, so there was never any question in my mind that whatever it took was whatever I was going to do, and as quickly as humanely possible. My view of the MFC was neither positive nor negative—the MFC was not personal, it was a force, like the wind and the tides.
What I can tell you, now that I have sat with the MFC as a Candidate Liaison, is this: The MFC is comprised of Unitarian Universalist ministers and lay leaders doing sacred work with great integrity, and they WANT you to succeed. Nothing would have made the panel I sat in on for five days happier than to have given a "1" to every Candidate who came before them. They are the gatekeepers, yes, but they are also the Welcoming Committee. Follow the standards and guidelines that have been set and reinforced over the years, show yourself to be a person who does sacred work with great integrity, and you will find yourself welcomed with open arms by this incredibly serious, but warm group of people.
So, if this is true, why don't folks always make it through the first time around? Here are a few things you can be sure will absolutely, positively, deter you from getting a "1" and make your life, and the life of the members of the MFC, difficult on your big day:
Good luck, to all of you, as you strive and study and change. The MFC is waiting, patiently, seriously, and with gentle humor, to welcome you into the professional ministry of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations.

text: SAYER is a producer from Oakland that's caught my interest with his production. He's averaging around 1000 plays per tune, yet everything he's putting his hands on is nuts. His sound and style are maturing at a ridiculous rate, and it's been truly fun to watch. But as one of the people deep in the trenches pushing trap records last year, it's hard to impress me with the genre. "Grind Mode" is undeniable, dropping into a robot vox that's absolutely mean, then note progression built to make your brain explode.

Writing Lesson: Naming Your Character Your character's name is one of the most important decisions you have to make when writing a story. There are tons of resources for naming your characters (baby name websites being my personal favorite) but there are also many things you should take into consideration. Here are some do's and don'ts in no particular order.Writing Lesson: Naming Your Character by Fehnwrites
Similar names for twins I read an article on names recently that expressly forbid the use of matching or similar twin names because it was "overdone". While yes, naming your twins Jayden and Kayden can be a bit tacky sounding, the truth is that people do it. A lot. I've personally met a pair of identical twins named Kirsten and Kristen. Do I think their parents are crazy? A little, but when you're choosing names for your twins, it's hard not to look for rhyming or alliteration. For writers, my only suggestion is to make them visually different enough that readers can tell them apart. Jace and Jackson are easy tw

Josh Barhaug, exec chef of Fired Up, on Bisquick, eating dog and lazy-ass cooks
Josh Barhaug
Fired Up
1135 Bannock Street
This is part one of my chef interview with Josh Barhaug, who mans the line -- and pizza oven -- at Fired Up. Part two of our chat will run tomorrow.
The first recipe that Josh Barhaug ever attempted came out of a Bisquick box. He was ten or eleven and hungry for a hot dog. "My mom worked full-time, so I did a lot of my own cooking, and for some reason, I wanted a hot dog, but we didn't have any buns," he remembers, "so I grabbed the Bisquick box, and there on the back was a recipe for a hot-dog-bun-biscuit-like thing." He says he followed the recipe precisely and the results weren't bad -- at least not for a first-time effort.
Pancakes soon became another constant in his cooking repertoire, and since he lived in Wyoming, where hunting is a prized pastime, he practiced -- and perfected -- his aim and went out into the wild, shooting deer, elk and antelope, then lugging the meat home. "We did everything ourselves, from the hunting to the butchering to cutting our own steaks, and while I only hunt birds now, it taught me a lot about living off the land and cooking without a lot of extra money in your pocket," says Barhaug, now the chef/owner of Fired Up, a new artisan, wood-fired pizza emporium in the Golden Triangle.
But his first job wasn't quite so lofty. "I was fourteen and got a job as a line cook at a Perkins Family Restaurant in Sheridan, Wyoming," he recalls, noting that the pickings were slim for a teenager searching for employment. But the gig turned out better than he'd expected. "First, there's no such thing as a bad experience, and second, working at Perkins taught me a ton about speed, volume and, most important, flat-top cooking," he quips.
And he liked cooking enough that he continued to seek out food-related stints, working at a pizza buffet restaurant and at a family-owned grocer, which happened to devote its parking lot to a pit master. "I worked in the produce department at the market, but the best part of the job was learning a ton about smoking meats," says Barhaug. "There was the guy -- Kenny -- who had a smokehouse in the parking lot, and every day that I worked, I'd hang out with him so he could teach me the ropes. It was the first time I'd eaten ribs, and I was freakin' blown away."
Those ribs fed an overall urge to continue cooking, and Barhaug considered enrolling in culinary school. But the tuition was out of reach -- at least at the time -- so he enlisted in the Army, where he was a chemical-operations specialist. While that had absolutely nothing to do with cooking, he was stationed in Korea, and during his time there, he got the opportunity to sample the local cuisine...including dog. "While I was there, I fell in love with Korean food and Korean barbecue -- I could smell kimchi everywhere -- and then, there I was, this dude from Wyoming, suddenly sitting at table at a restaurant with a Korean-style dish with herbs and spices and chopped-up dog in front of me," he recalls with a slight grimace. "It was an interesting experience at a place that specifically raised dogs for human consumption, but the whole time, I was trying not to picture the dog, and now that I have one of my own, I definitely don't think I could eat it again," he admits, adding that it was "tough and chewy."

If a lead comes through a broker, you should pay the broker
Give credit where credit is due.
Yesterday I got an email from someone interested in one of my domains.
"I found your domain on BuyDomains," he stated.
But he thought the price I listed on BuyDomains (via Afternic) was too high and wanted to negotiate. Rather than call BuyDomains to negotiate he emailed me directly.
We worked out a price, and then I changed the price at BuyDomains to what we negotiated and told him to buy it through them.
It could be tempting in this situation to circumvent the marketplace to save on commission. But that would be unethical.
The buyer clearly stated that he found my domain on BuyDomains. So the marketplace is responsible for him contacting me. It should be part of the transaction. The same goes for a case in which a broker brings in a lead for you.

If only everyone was as honest as you Andrew things would be soooo much easier.I have acted as a "middloe man" many times in many fields of business and got to say that agreements are ONLY as strong as the word of the company/person you have agreement with.Good to see you are very ethical.
First you don't register cnndistractions.com and now this. What's wrong with you Andrew?
I would not call it 'unethical', but rather, convenient and simply a matter of agreeing on the terms of the transaction. Using the broker made you feel safer about negotiating with a stranger.
Do not agree at all, broker has a million names listed, they did not close or do any work. Buyer accessed free info, and made their own call. You don't think these exchanges push their internal domains, over yours any chance they get to sway a buyer. You chose to pay 7 percent more which is less legwork for you, must have been a small sale as 15 percent adds up quick.
The buyer should pay the commission, like at auction houses where there is a "buyers" premium of 10% on the actual bid price to pay the auction house….Too many people will say I am a broker, give me 10-20% of the sale, which is stupid in my opinion.
Good show!
You don't see many demonstrations of integrity in today's world. Kudos to Andrew.

Dick Cavett--shouldn't he have his own podcast? I'd subscribe in an artificial heartbeat--dials the Wayback Machine to 1981 to resuscitate and reflect upon a joint appearance by the New Yorker's Stradivarian virtuosi of suburban tristesse: "Updike and Cheever. Two literary giants who deeply admired, and even envied, each other's gifts and talent. Seeing them say so is a treat. (Here, too weak a word.)"
These two great writers sitting there demonstrate the real thing. They praise each other, but in a way that transcends the usual embarrassing, chat-show, face-to-face, fulsome public flattery. (Both would strike out about a half-pound of my intensifying adjectives from that sentence.) They elevate praise to an art form.
From Blake Bailey's imminent biography of Cheever we learn that older author's attitude toward Updike was far more Oedipally conflicted and churlishly competitive than it appeared on the rumpled surface, but that doesn't make these clips and Cavett's commentary any less welcome.

Expired Film Celebration! 20 years of Lomography!
I celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Lomography society by shooting some twenty-year expired film in my Russian LC-A! The film in question is a bulk roll of Kodak Ektachrome EPT 160 tungsten film. I exposed it at ISO 25 to compensate for speed loss and increased base fog. The images are nothing special (to me at least) because I just took a walk around my neighborhood but I'm sure you will enjoy them:)

Great choice of ISO 25 for this roll. I have had some really nice results with long expired bulk film. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you do with yours.
@alburnkat Thanks! More experiments to come with this film...
@ropi Thanks!

Hi, I'm Avril Lavigne. 'What's up' to all the viewers at seventeen.com. I'm here in Los Angeles right now, and I wanted to take some time to show you guys what I keep in my make-up bag. First thing I have is gel hand sanitizer. It doesn't smell like alcohol, it's- and- It just smells like, it's lavender, like, herbal, it's super fresh. And this is a must, ProActive. This advanced blemish treatment is amazing, and what's really great about it is it's clear. I like this MAC Dazzleglass Lipgloss. Lipglo- 'Lipglass.' It's my favorite and it has, like, sparkles in it. Oh, my God. It's an Abbey Dawn flip flop. Well, whenever I wear heels, I keep flip flops with me, so that when my feet get tired, I can be more comfortable. My little Abbey Dawn mirror. I like it because it's small. Maybelline mascara. I love MAC concealer. Fish clips, so I can kinda keep my hair- A fragrance; Black Star by Avril Lavigne. MAC black eye liner

...figured I better get pictures of what's blooming now before it's too late. I am definetly not ready for my roses to stop blooming but am excited for winter to hurry and pass on thru so spring can arrive and with it all the new roses I have on order as well as expanding my gardens (soon I won't have a front yard!). The bonus to the cooler weather is that colors change and intesify on so many of my roses. Anyway, for your viewing pleasure....

I think I've heard this answered before but with Regionals coming up, I need confirmation. If I have winterfell castle in play and the dreadfort, does playing a bolton refugee trigger the Dreadfort's draw response?
The Dreadfort respose
Posted 22 March 2013 - 05:14 AM
Posted 22 March 2013 - 05:49 AM
The reason for this is that the constant effect from Winterfell Castle modifies the card played before the response is triggered in the responses step of having the character come into play.
Posted 22 March 2013 - 06:18 AM
Thank you. That's what I figured. One argument that I might get is that the dreadfort calls for you to play a card of 3 strength or higher. While the card has 3 str when the response window opens, I never 'played' a bolton card of 3 str or higher. Funny how these things work.
Posted 22 March 2013 - 06:56 AM
Well, you can always refer people to p. 25 of the FAQ:
"Can I trigger The Dreadfort (Dreadfort Betrayal 105) when I play a Bolton Refugee (Refugees of War 83) with a printed STR of 2, and have Winterfell Castle (Core 25) in play, which gives the Bolton Refugee +1 STR?
Qualifying characteristics of cards are checked at the time a Response effect is triggered. In this example, the Bolton character enters play and has its STR raised to 3 (by the constant effect on Winterfell Castle) when it enters play, which occurs before the Response effect is triggered. When the Response is triggered, the character's STR is 3, and it has just been played, so you can use The Dreadfort to draw a card."
(The nice thing about that is it also explains why playing Damon Dance-For-Me while Threat from the North is someone's revealed plot will not let you use The Dreadfort.)

Manchester City vs Stoke City Live Streaming English Premiership 1/1/2013
Get ready to watch Manchester City vs Stoke City live stream streaming online on 1/1/2013. The live online stream commentary and live online radio broadcast English Premiership match between Manchester City and Stoke City at the Etihad Stadium might leave Citizens manager Roberto Mancini complaining about the lack of goals from his neurotic strikers once again. Manchester City bristled with attacking venom and intent over the weekend before this live English Premiership online streaming football game against Stoke City when they scored four goals away from home to blow Norwich City away at Carrow Road which has always been a difficult place for any visiting team. After taking their manager's criticisms to heart and scoring the goals that consoled him before this live streaming commentary and live online TV telecast English Premiership match between Manchester City and Stoke City the defending champions have to face the defensive stronghold known as the Potters. Edin Dzeko will be hoping that he can earn another rare start to lead the Manchester City forward line and his physicality and height may prove useful against the Stoke defensive partnership of Robert Huth and Ryan Shawcross. However, the Bosnian has always been consistently inconsistent and is expected to not find the net should he earn another start against the Potters. That will not do for Manchester City as they now lag behind Manchester United by seven points and that is a huge gap even at the halfway point of the season, especially with the Red Devils in splendid form going into the second half of the season. However, if there is one thing about Manchester City, it is that they are a resilient lot even though they are filled to the brim with multi millionaires in the team. The Citizens do not give up as proven by their winning the English Premiership title by virtually the last kick of the season when Sergio Aguero scored the winning goal. Mancini will have serious selection woes with in-form winger Samir Nasri suspended for the game after his red card for an apparent head butt of Sebastian Bassong. James Milner is expected to replace Nasri in the starting lineup after coming on as a second-half substitute against Norwich City and the England international's work rate in midfield could prove useful against the equally robust Stoke City. Dzeko will have a strong case to start the game against Stoke City after his brace against Norwich City put him as the team's top scorer in the league, and the Bosnian could start alongside Carlos Tevez whose incessant running can prove the difference against the Potters. Aguero may be rested after appearing off-colour of late, even though he scored once and provided an assist on Saturday.
Watch as Stoke City will bring their famed never-say-die team spirit and physical power to the home of the defending champions in this live commentary and live streaming radio broadcast English Premiership match between Manchester City and Stoke City and try to stage another upset of the season. Stoke City will just have come off another stirring result over the weekend before this English Premiership live online streaming soccer game against Manchester City when they came from two goals down to steal a point at Southampton. The Potters are now unbeaten in the last 10 matches before this live stream commentary and live streaming online TV telecast English Premiership match between Manchester City and Stoke City after Cameron Jerome scored a thunderous 25 yard goal to shock the Saints. Stoke City did all that after having been reduced to ten men for the last 19 minutes and looked the more dangerous side despite that happening. Steven Nzonzi was the Stoke player who saw red after a heavy challenge on Jack Cork and the defender will be suspended for the trip to Manchester City. Striker Kenwyne Jones exemplified the belief coursing through the Stoke City squad when he insisted that none of the Potters players thought that they would lose against the Saints and that they were always going to get at least a share of the spoils if they managed to score in the second half. Stoke City will bring that self belief and untouchable confidence into the game at Manchester City and with Mancini's side continuing to have problems in defence, the Potters will be relishing their chances of putting a few past Joe Hart. Having struggled to score all season, Stoke City have now scored six goals in their last two games – including three in the 3-1 win over Liverpool – but the stats do not lie and the Potters have only scored 21 goals all season in the league.
The English Premiership online stream game Manchester City vs Stoke City will be shown on many of the best major satellite TV and telecast networks, with live streaming online on Internet PCs, sopcast, streamtorrent, torrentstream, flash and online channels also available. Do not miss out on the games with the best and most reliable broadcasters and stations from the opening kickoff.

A Day To Remember formed in Florida in 2003 and since that time they've toured Australia, oh, about a jillion times. And while some bands can easily wear out their welcome under such circumstances, ADTR have managed to make each visit bigger than the last. With new album Common Courtesy out now via 3Wise in Australia, it's time for the band to come back with one of their strongest recordings to date. And so it was that last month they were announced as one of the big-ticket names on the Soundwave 2014 second line-up announcement. We caught up with vocalist Jeremy McKinnon to chat about it, including just how close the band came to having to call it a day.
The first thing we should talk about, of course, is the massive Soundwave juggernaut!
It's the best festival on the planet, man! It's our most favourite to play at least. I mean, good lord! It's the most well-run, fun thing we get to do as a band, honestly. It is the highlight of every album cycle for me as a musician. I'm honoured to be a part of it and I'm honoured that Australians even care for us enough to bring us back. I'm always excited to go there.
It seems like every time you turn around, you guys are here!
Yeah, we try to be! I'm telling ya, I'd move there if I could!
So why do you think Australians have taken to you so much?
I don't know but I'm really happy you have!
So you started the writing process for this album two years ago. Does it always take this long from beginning to end?
Always, man. That's just how I write. I'm always writing at all times. For instance, I just recorded a brand new song just last week that I've had sitting around but have never recorded. It's like that. I'll just plug away whenever I have time at home. Every time we're home I'm usually tracking at least one song every break we have. I'm writing year-round, and that way when it's actually time to put a record together I have a record full of songs that I love, instead of 'Oh shit, we've got two months to write an entire album,' and then you write a really half-assed one. This is our career, right? May as well take it serious!
Well the stuff here has been crafted and fine-tuned to a level that you might find in a pop album rather than something this heavy, yet it sure doesn't sound pop.
It took us eight months to track this entire album. We had something like 40 song ideas. There were like, legitimate great songs that we didn't even get to work on just because we didn't have the time. We found 19 songs that we were tracking, and we ended up actually finishing 16 out of the 19 that we started tracking. Those were the songs that everybody gravitated towards. Even if there were songs that I felt really should have been on the album that were not, that's just not the stuff that everybody was really drawn to. So this was the album that we all wanted to put out. We had the time to sit and make sure we were absolutely happy with it. And honestly, we couldn't have made a better record right now. This is as good as it's going to get at this point in our career.
You have your own studio to work in — what's it like?
Well we actually had a lot of stuff built for us by (producer/engineer) Dan Korneff. He builds outboard gear too, and we had him build a lot of compressors for us. I worked with Andrew Wade and he would work with Dan Korneff on what he did and didn't like in the studio, and by trial and error they built the whole studio around that. We also have a patch bay and everything using all this stuff now. It was a learning experience. It took us a few months to get up and running but yeah, it's a really awesome setup! And now Andrew's got it set up here for me and I can literally just plug in to the front of a compressor and I can track a guitar that's the same quality as the album we just made.
That's one thing a lot of people with home studios miss — a good analog compressor can do so much more for your sound than a plugin.
Yes! A huge difference. So hats off to Dan Korneff for helping us out. He built about three or four and he's amazing at what he does. Couldn't have done it without him.
And have you adapted the studio environment to be a creatively inspiring space?
For sure! Andrew built custom panels and we got them wrapped professionally by upholsterers, so we decorated the room how we wanted to. There's this huge panel that takes up the back wall and we had our artist Mike C, who does all of our artwork, he made this big huge 90s collage of just stuff that we grew up with. All these 90s things, so like, every time somebody comes into the studio they just stare at this stuff for hours. We have everything up there. Michael Jordan, POGs, video games, Home Alone, everything you can think of. It's pretty awesome.
So the album was released digitally on October 8, over a month before getting a physical release.
We had to do that because we didn't know until two days before October 8 if we were going to be able to release it at all, because our old label tried to go to the courts and say we shouldn't be able to release the album. And the judge decided "We're not going to stop this band's career because you guys have a disagreement. They're gonna put out their album. You should have settled. You shouldn't have let it get to this point." Which is pretty much what they said, which is awesome because our label's entire game plan was to stretch it out until we were stretched into a corner where we had to make a bad decision. So we kinda just said "Y'know, we're gonna gamble here," and the judge took our side, thankfully. We really did gamble with our whole career. It was really, really scary. Seriously. If we had have lost it would have been the end of our whole career, seriously. It would have ruined our career. It would have been over. So it was pretty serious, we knew it, and the judge sided with us. I can not put into words the feeling that we all had when we heard that the judge sided with us. It was amazing, man. I've never had a feeling like that in my whole life. It was like we were the underdogs who won the football championship, man.
A Day To Remember are heading out for Soundwave Festival in 2014. For more information including dates, tickets and full line up visit www.soundwavefestival.com

I currently have a 2001 Chevy Metro sedan which I love. But I know it won't last forever -- little glitches have already started to show up.
I've been researching cars in my price range and preference. Dependability is a huge priority because I'm a realtor and need my car to do my job. Something Japanese with low mileage and under $7,000 are also preferable ($8,000 if I absolutely can't find anything less expensive). I'd prefer manual transmission but it's not a deal breaker. Any Subaru in my price range would be ideal. Anyone here a fan of the PT Cruiser? No Hyundais or Kias, please. Cavaliers, Aveos, Neons, Focuses (Foci? lol), Sentras and various models of Saturn consistently turn up in my search on Cars.com. I'm concerned that this is a negative comment on the quality of those models. Are there any brave souls here who would recomend something given my budget and preferences? Thanks.
Follow-Up Postings:
You may wish to consider a 2 to 4 yr old Saturn Wagon. My wife bought a '97 new with automatic and medium level of equipment. Cost ran about $17,000. She has over 80,000 miles on it with no major repair. Over the usual maintence items of brakes, tires, and exhaust system, we've replaced the water temp sensor and a downstream oxygen sensor that failed early. For the latest repair, I replaced the gasket set for the valve cover. It began leaking around one spark plug hole. What I discovered was that the valve cover was a reinforced plastic molding and had shrank. It tightned up the oil cap hole and caused difficulty in removing the oil cap. Both problems were fixed by me. This shrinking valve cover is the only major problem that it has had in over 80,000 miles. Look for the dual cam shaft model (with 4 valves per cylinder). The dual cam engine has much better performance over the lower powered engine and without a big penality in gasoline mileage. The lesser powered engine is not enough in my opinion. The engine does not have a timing belt; It has a timing chain instead, although it is single row roller chain not much larger than a bicycle chain. It did not appear adequate to me when i saw a cut-away view of the engine on the show room floor, but that was back in 1997 when my wife bought the wagon, and the chain has held. You should be able to find a 4 yr old Saturn within your budget. Neon: I can not recommend the Neon mainly because it is a maintence nightmare under the hood. It's really tight in there. Look at one and imagine the steps needed to change an alternator. Stratus: For almost the same price of a Neon, you can get a Status, but again, I'm not recommending this model (and I have one). It has always started, runs good, gets good fuel mileage, but has other negatives. The slope back of the windshield makes entering and exiting a chore. The design of the headlamp assembly is poor in regard to light pattern. High beam is ok, but at low beam, you may hit a pedestrain along side the road because he won't be seen until too late. And this is not an adjustment issue - its the shape of the light beam. Also, these headlamp assemblies tends to dull over after 4 years and should be replaced. There is a vague feeling that the driver doesn't know where the right rear of the car is. It's a little tough to parallel park, and on the freeway, one has to watch that blind spot to insure that you don't move over into another vehicle. Although, the Stratus is a much improved car over the Neon, I can not recommend it due to the negatives I've mentioned. If you can live with these negatives, then put it on your list. Mechanically, the car has been reliable. I have 80,000 miles on mile. In the not too distant future, it will need a new timing belt. My wife an I have taken several long road trips with without incident. |
your happy with your metro, its a suzuki, why not stay with the suzuki brand? they are japenese, affordable,have long warantys. if it aint broke, don fix it. why not a hyundai? equal to hond and toyota in quality, and if you drive it into the ground, who cares about resale. |
I thought the Metro began as a joint project between Chevrolet and Toyota? Anyway, just to clarify, most of the cars I listed in my first post are the available ones in my price range -- doesn't mean they're the ones I want to choose from. But if I *am* stuck with a Cavalier/Aveos/Neons/Focuses/Sentras/various models of Saturn, I'm wondering which is the lesser of the evils? (Thanks for the insight on your wife's Saturn, jemdandy.) I like the price, size and looks of the Aveo. But I'm concerned because so many newer models from 2003-2005 are already being resold. Any opinions on this? |
The Metro was a rebadged Suzuki Swift. The Chevy Nova/Geo Prizm/Chevy Prizm was the GM/Toyota collaboration (Toyota still sells the Corolla, but now the Prizm factory makes the Pontiac Vibe and Toyota Matrix). The Aveo is a rebadged Daewoo, which is built in South Korea and also sold as the Daewoo Kalos and as the Suzuki Swift. Of the models you mentioned: |
Thanks, Steve. Anyone here a fan (or not a fan) of the PT Cruiser? I love the retro kitsch of the design. Have heard a few nice things about the mechanics. But I don't know enough to know whether it's a wise choice for someone who needs dependability and good gas mileage. |
- Posted by jasper_60103 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 17, 06 at 14:16
I had a 1988 Nissan Sentra once. Very good vehicle. Put over a 100K miles on it. Just routine maint done on it. |
Anyone here a fan (or not a fan) of the PT Cruiser? It's not a car that ever "grabbed" me. I'm not much on the styling; I think with another design them I would like it very much. I've ridden in one once or twice; it seemed comfortable enough for the time I was in it. I'd be more concerned with it as a representation of Chrysler's ability to build a quality car; I don't know where it falls among its DCX peers in fit, finish, and assembly. |
