Family Cars

Tom and I have been saving our money for a while so that we could both get new cars without taking out loans for them. After two years of looking for a car to replace my 1999 Pontiac Grand AM with almost 140k miles, I finally found it. I swear I test drove everything in Boise but the car that I chose is a black 2007 Suzuki XL7 -- definately a mommy car but I absolutely love it!

It was both a sad and happy time for Tom late last month when he traded in his fun car for his family car. He found a 2006 Acura TSX (also black) with only 3700 miles so it is pretty much new for the price of used!

He misses his little Audi with all wheel drive. I know he'll miss it in the summer when he can't put the top down on the Acura but hopefully he will be too excited to have a daughter to think about it.

Thanks Tom for all the wheeling-and-dealing that was done while I hid in the bathroom to avoid confrontation with the salesmen.
