We always said that we would driver our cars until they died. Well, that day has finally arrived. After 155,000 miles and 10 years, the Chrysler Sebring convertible has finally decided to call it quits. Once it was Kara's pride and joy and now it's pushing up daisies. In all fairness, it's quite remarkable to have gone this far. Whenever we tell a mechanic that we have a Chrysler with almost 160,000 miles on it, jaws seem to always hit the floor. The really sad part is that with the exception of a few things under the hood (a few expensive things) the car is in really good condition.
So right now, we're a one car family. Kasia and I are finding new ways to entertain ourselves at home while Kara is at work. Hopefully we'll get a new car soon, but I think we're really holding out in the hopes that somebody will just give us one. If there's anyone out there with an extra car that you'd like to donate, please feel free to call us. We're not all that picky.
By the way, we've also now truly acclimated to living in North Carolina. We have a broke down car sitting in the driveway that won't go anywhere. Later today I'm thinking about taking the tires off and just have it sit on cinder blocks. That will give our house the good Southern charm that we've always wanted.
