Hot rod

We call her the hot rod. She is our latest investment and she is a beauty. With my new Job I drive about 1000 miles per week and I was wearing the poor truck out plus the gas was killing me so we put the word out that we were looking for a good car. My manager in Arkansas rebuilds cars and he found this one totaled. Since it is rebuilt it was much cheaper than normal and it is VERY comfortable on the long road trips. We need to clean out the smoke smell before charity and the kids can ride with me. It gets just under 30mpg so it is working out much better. We sold the Volvo (which we had wrecked onour way to watch Wicked) and the pickup so the Hot Rod is paid off. I was telling my friend about this car. He didn't know that we had also bought a Honda Odyssey for Charity a month ago. he asked Charity how she liked the Honda and she said "Which one?" Now he thinks we are high rollers. This car is #20 in our 6 years of marriage. Hopefully the 2 we have now will stay with the family till Haela needs a car.

Can I just say that I'm so jealous you drive an Odyssey? I drove my sister's once and I was like, "Whoa! I gotta have one of these!" Unfortunately we'll have to run our current cars into the ground before that ever happens. Taber is in no hurry to take on another car payment after we finish paying off our CRV : ( Oh well, someday when we have our 5 kids, he'll have to buy me a sweet mini van ; )
