Yeppers. That's where Dh and I will be going today. The transmission on the van is shot, and we've had nothing but problems with that vehicle for the past year. I don't want to fix it and then have something go wrong next week. We'll go take a look at what's out there...
I am going to have to use our emergency fund to pay for the new one, though, and that really ticks me off. I'm wondering how long Dh and I can get by on one vehicle...probably not very long since I really need a car for work and he needs to get to work! Opposite directions, three busy kids etc. Oh well, I do appreciate the fact that we have the money and, hopefully, we won't have to take out any kind of car loan. My dad really sweetly told me to let him know if we need to 'borrow' some money. I'm 40 years old...I really don't plan on borrowing money from my dad to buy a car. But it was nice of him to offer.
So, the only money that we'll be spending today will be on toilet paper and milk...and possibly a new vehicle!
Off to the car lot...

OD used it and found herself a "new" used Civic after her original Civic was totalled last year by another driver. It only has to last 16 more months until she is through her ultrasound school and internship. The people she bought her Civic from drove it to her, which was really nice.
