New Car...sort of


After driving back and forth to Pasadena twice, we have a new used truck. It's pretty cool. It has a V8 engine, not that I'll need that driving around Brazoria County, but hey, the more power the better. It's a '98 Ford Explorer with 58,600 miles on it. It's in really good shape considering it's 8 years old. Hopefully in a few months we'll be getting something else so we can ditch my falling apart, no air conditioning, no windshield wipers, hail damaged '96 Chevrolet Cavelier. We're thinking about a Honda Accord. The coupes look pretty dang cool. See.....

A two door is not real practical I guess. But we'll have the Explorer to drive kids around in. And half the time Jack gets in the front door and climbs into the backseat anyway.

We got a good deal on the Explorer. And the next car we buy will atleast 5 years old too. Well, anyway, that's what we did today. It was a really long day.

I'm glad you found something to suit your needs. I had left a comment about Hyundais on your husband's blog as we bought a Santa Fe last month. If you're still needing a car for yourself, Hyundai 4-door sedans start around $10k brand new, some of their smaller more compact start around $7-8K. The nearest dealer we found was at 59 and the Beltway, but at least it's a bit closer than Pasadena. They also have 100,000-mile warranties and cool stuff like that. Let me know if I can give you anymore info on them. So far, we're really impressed with ours. I do hope you find something to replace your car. You deserve something nice. :)
