buy a second car

Scott and I need a second car when he comes back from Iraq. and I think we may have found one. Kort’s friend, Daron, is selling a 01 dodge straus for 2,000! problem is we have to find the title!! yeah… so we’re talking it over.. if Scott will call

I hate hate hate not having a car to get around in. I am stuck at home and have to bum rides off of other people since Hubby has the car to go to work.

We put this off as long as we could (as in, until the birth of our first baby became imminent – I’m due next week!). We came across a great deal on a ‘99 Corolla with extremely low mileage in great condition, and even though we’d only looked at 1 other car, we went for it. So as of tomorrow we own a second car and have less money… but at least I won’t be trapped in the house all day, every day with a newborn!

Got the Vibe… It’s pretty sweet.

Our work schedules are so different! I get dropped off for work almost 2 hours early and have to be picked up about 2 hours after I get off! We’re looking at a Pontiac Vibe… I think we’ll end up getting it.

a blue kia spectra. never thought i’d have a second car, but with clinical rotations upon us and no public transportation options it actually was necessary. and this car gets good gas mileage and has an amazing warranty. what a grown-up i am:) i’m still in shock over the luxury of power windows and being able to adjust my sideview mirrors from inside the car.

finally gas has gotten to the point of being obscenely expensive. 1.25CND !! I still remember when it was .47cents and thought that was alright

the transit system here sucks so a car is the only practical thing to use if you don’t plan your day / don’t want to be stuck with tired smelly people all day. hopefully I can buy a piece of junk because the insurance will be so insanely high for a new driver.

we’re going to need one once i start in the hospital. always wanted to be a single car family, but living in an area without strong public transportation makes it not possible right now. hopefully when our lives are more under our control (post-residency, 5+ years) we can go back to one (or no!) car. anyway. in my head, i’m planning on starting the car search in february. something that we can fit two car seats in (looking ahead), that gets good to great gas mileage, and that is reasonably cute/attractive (aka NOT a minivan:)). i’m thinking one of these revamped station wagon type cars. we’ll see:)
