My daughter can't bring peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to school due to nut allergy fears.

A friend's son has significant nut allergies, so I can see both sides of the issue.

What is your budget? Please be sure to include insurance costs. Also, check Texas licensing laws to see whether you can drive on the licence that you have and for how long.

Landing with peanuts.. so a peanut budget. Lets say $2000. Ive got an international licence which Im told will be valid for 3 months before it is imperative to get a local licence.

How about using your own two feet; helps with the budget and it will certainly help with that tyre of flab you've got around your belly !

As people here will explain, this is not Europe where you can walk 4km and get what you need. I need a car there to survive.

Something like this should be relatively easy to find:

Cars for Sale: 1991 Mazda 626 LX in Mesquite, TX 75150: Sedan Details - 384452107 - AutoTrader.com

Also, check local ads in colleges and universities, they have lots of good options too in that price range.

Distance from where I would live to where I might work is around 21 miles.. that is a seven hour walk Bhatta.

If you can get approved, Honda's certified pre-used car program will give you great lease rates. Spend some time here for an idea:

Cars, SUVs, Trucks and Vans from Honda Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

Or a brand new Corolla for $169 per month if you get approved:

Actually it looks like they are mostly late model. Sometimes they have older cars. Great place to get a good price.

Oscar, best would be to post on Pakwheels. Tons of members there who are based in USA. Some highly rated ones live in Houston area, so they are your best bet.
