Our NEW car!!

Here is our NEW car. It is a 1993 Lincoln Town car - very nice (sort of). It has leather like seats, power steering (my last car didn't so this is a BIG improvment), power windows, power door locks, power seat adjusters, and it is speedy (it has a big V8 in it - which means it almost costs $50 to fill it up). Anyways it was a sweet deal (not quite the deal that Lindsey's friend Vanessa got) and it seems like it will run long enough that I can finish up my MBA.

Got rid of our white car - finally!

For the last year or so I have been driving a little Kia Sephia to and from work and to school. Well, we were able to pay cash for this little car and the intent was to just drive it for a few years until we needed something bigger. Also we had the cash to pay for it (which wasn't tough considering what it cost) so I thought this was just great and we would be saving so much money, etc. Well, Lindsey disagreed with me and probably didn't even drive it a hand full of times in the past year. The car was old to start with and never drove "smooth" so when we took it into get state inspected and found out that the back breaks were completely shot we decided it was time to cut out losses and just try to sell it (oh and this is after I just put a brand new windshield in since I thought that was all we were going to need to pass inspection). Anyways I put the car on KSL.com last Saturday and in less than 5 minutes of posting it I had people calling. I got about 30 calls on the car and had probably 8 people stop by to look at it and drive it. Needless to say we had the car sold and $500 in our hands in less than 5 hours from when I initially listed it. I guess there is no car that runs that isn't worth at least $500...
