check out my new car

Cars are such a pain.  Gas, repairs, oil changes, washing, cleaning etc....

But we have to have them. 

I have been without a car for a year and a half.  The boys would take turns taking me to work and picking me up.  Sometimes I would walk because it is not that far.  It seemed to work fairly good until Phil left this household. 

I told Joel I would really like to get a car soon.  Example: He was out of town on Monday and I was going to walk home that day. Couldn't do that because it was raining.  My dear friend/neighbor Diane came and got me.  I told Joel I really don't care what it looks like I would just like 4 tires, 2 doors and a steering wheel.  If the top would go on and off that would be o.k. for me too. Laughing as I said it. 

Well look what we found on Craigslist.  It is a 1996 car with 109,000 miles on it. 

We went and checked it out, test drove it, checked under the hood and even drove with the top down for about 5 minutes (60 degrees).  We both thought this was a great deal and thought about the fun we can have in the summer. 

So here I am in my new car.  I couldn't be happier.
