Here is the situation... gas prices are out of control -- speculators suck, and the "Great Northern Barn Swallow" (or whatever the hell is keeping us from drilling in Alaska) SHOULD be extinct.
(DUH, I know I am not telling you anything you don't already know... remember this from last week's post:)
Well, it is just getting worse. So I figured... Zoe is still five years away from driving, we DON'T need three cars (and two payments). BUT... we love driving the van, and when you need a truck... well, nothing else will do.
So... I bought a new van...
Wait.... WHAT?!?!?!
Actually, originally it was just "Adios" to the Accord... not that I didn't like it, I just didn't need it (nor it's payments). But, we got a GREAT deal on a new '08 Ody (with all the new bells-and-whistles -- BACKUP CAMERA, iPod input, DVD Player -- the thing even has a 110v plug!!!!).
Besides, the old one would have needed new tires soon... so this really does make sense.
Of course, now my sole goal is to take care of the truck to get another 100,000 miles out of it!
There has GOT to be a support organization for me :)
