Auto Independence! (4/1-2)

We finally bought a car!!! Deb and I have looked for some time, but always felt that we were sized up as rich Americans. So the prices seemed a bit inflated to us. Well, it was our friend, Andres, who made our car deal possible. Andres, Priscilla, and Benjamin went car shopping with us. Andres just had a good sense about cars and determining how previous owners had treated them. He focused on the mechanics and the price, while Deb and I were more interested in the raio and color. We found a good deal relatively quickly.

So our car is a Chevy Corsa. We have the four door version of a car too small to import in the States. The Corsa is fuel efficient, has pep for climbing mountains, has a good re-sale value, ours is a 2004, and didn't cost us all our savings. Gasoline is currently more than $5 a gallons. Deb will use it to go to work every day. I will continue walking, but I get to drive it on the weekends.

So we had to drive the car all the way to Deb's work. I had never been there so I took some pictures. Deb test drove the route, then was ready to go. Now she is talking about where we are going on vacation. Good thing we got a car!!!
