Update: I was able secure the Mopar sensors I needed off of eBay. Jeep runs just fine now.

After much discussing, I think we will fix the head gaskets on the Subaru soon...getting another year or two out of the car. At that point we will look at something newer. When I say newer I just mean 3-5 years old with less than 25-35k miles.

Our dream is a boat right and in the long distance future (i.e. 10 years)would like to buy a small sail boat or trawler for cruising. I think if we save hard now it's totally doable. I just want to ensure our descions between now and then need to be solid.
