OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW

So I am a little slow posting things because I don't have my own computer with the Internet, so getting around to putting my pictures on my parents computer takes a little while longer for some reason.

Anyway two weeks ago today we bought our new car. We sold the Explorer about 3 weeks ago because we needed a more reliable car that would also get better gas mileage driving back and forth from Vegas. I wanted to take our time finding the RIGHT one. I didn't want to pay for something I was not completely satisfied with. So I decided if we only had one car for the summer it would be okay since I have NOTHING to do. Well Roy felt bad that for like 3 whole days I couldn't go anywhere.

Thursday night Roy found one online here in Orem. It was way out of our price range but we decided to go look at it anyway. At 9:30 at night we went to go look at it hoping they would be closed and we wouldn't have to deal with any lot lizards. We were wrong they were still there. Before we knew it we were talking to a sales man and he let us take it for a spin. It was the right color, the interior was exactly what I wanted and it had decent miles on it for the year. I immediately said "uh oh"as Roy went cruising down the road. If any of you know me, that is not a good thing for me or Roy to say, especially if we
say it at the same time. It usually results in us buying something we LOVE!!! We took it back to the dealer and told them it was just too expensive.

Friday was Roy's day off so we got up early and headed to Salt Lake to look at some others that were closer to the price I was willing to spend. None of them compared. Well long story short we talked the other one down to a price I was kind of okay with. It was exactly what we both wanted so we pulled the trigger.

Now we have two cars that hopefully won't give us any problems driving back and forth, plus we will save a ton in gas... I hope.

VERY CLASSY! I'm sure Roy loves it, it is right up both of your ally's. So your living in Orem right now, when do you go back to Vegas?
