When I buy a new car…

     The Curmudgeon says when we sell the MIL’s house I will get a new car.  I’ve always had used cars never a NEW car.  I get to pick any car I want.  I’m not sure if I’ll go for a Smart car, an HHR, or another mini van.

     I do know that when I buy a new car it won’t be silver.  I decided that this morning when I looked out my bedroom window and saw that all but two cars parked on our street were silver.  There wasn’t a single open parking space out there so that’s a lot of silver cars.

     My new car won’t be purple either–I don’t like purple.

     When I buy a new car it will, hopefully, have enough room for a dog crate in the back.  If I buy a van I’ll have them keep the rearmost seat.  I pulled the rearmost seat out of the van I have a long time ago and have no use for one.

     My old van won’t be traded in, it is going to go to the neighbor over at my MIL’s who helped G and I so much with the clearing and cleaning.  She needs a car.  All she’ll have to pay for is the title transfer.

     I wish someone would hurry and buy the house.

     When I buy a new car it’d better last for a long time since it will probably the only new car I buy.

  1. I admit to a little bias up front, but look at Toyotas. The Prius, if you’re ecologically minded, but any of their models will be good choices. They are relatively inexpensive to own and operate and d**n near indestructible.
    I have a 1994 Toyota pick-up (you knew that) and other than routine maintenance items (batteries, tires, etc.) I haven’t spent $100/year on repairs on it.

    I absolutely loved my Toyota Tercel wagon …until someone stole it. When I buy my new car it’ll whichever one suits the best…I plan to do a lot of test driving.

  2. You’d give a haunted van to a lady you know? Hope you explain to her first so she doesn’t come looking for you with a hatchet, LOL.

    She knows all about it. Hers did the same thing before it was totaled by her husband. (He’s okay other than being in the dog house.)
