We Finally Bought a New Car


I'm sorry to say, but for everyone who was thinking about getting us the BMW Z4, it's too late. We decided to go out and get a car ourselves. And so we bought a nicely previously owned vehicle that takes practicality to a whole new level. We bought a Dodge Grand Caravan. I still can't believe it.

Neither Kara nor myself ever thought that we would be the owners of a minivan. But as we started looking, somehow we stumbled on one and took it for a test drive. It was roomy. "This thing would be great on a road trip," we thought. Then I saw the whole "stow 'n' go" seating and I was hooked. We have finally admitted to ourselves that we're no longer 20-somethingers who need a sports car to go out and impress people. It has finally sunk in that it's ok for us to have a "family" car since we are in fact a family. We don't have to worry about getting anything sportier for another fifteen years or so when one of us goes through a mid-life crisis.

So now, my primary car has gone from a Saturn coupe to a minivan. Kara has decided that she can't quite adopt the minivan as quickly, and so she's going to be driving the little black car for awhile.

What this all means now is that we have a '98 Chrysler Sebring convertible for sale if anyone wants one. It's in great condition with just a few miles on it. We'll accept offers at any time.
