So we left the house today to talk to the bank about a car loan, and ended up refinancing the house. Let's focus here, people!<\/p>\n

Speaking of focus – Yesterday morning when we went to get a rental car the only thing they had was a Chevy Tahoe. Oh. My. God. but that thing is huge! I drove it yesterday, but I knew there was no friggin' way I was going to be able to maneuver that behemoth on a car dealership lot. We went back today, and now we're driving a cute little Ford Focus. It's cute, and drives ok, but it's definitely Not On The List. The Tahoe actually was really<\/i> nice, but way<\/i> too much car\/truck for and me. The biggest I want is a maybe a Toyota Tacoma XtraCab. We need something comfy we can get stuff for the house in and haul the dog around in. I don't particularly want an SUV, certainly not one of the huge ones. I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee once that I really liked. Hmm. Dunno, guess we've got some researching to do.<\/p>\n

We stopped by the car today to get our junk out of it. It really doesn't look too bad, but the guys there said the suspension was pretty well tweaked. Guess we'll wait and see what the insurance adjuster says on Monday.<\/p>\n

The other car though – wow. Y'know, I've been lusting after a Sebring convertible – but after seeing the front end of that Sebring sedan Thursday – sheesh. Their front grille was ripped off, the transmission was completely locked up, the front right wheel was at a 90 degree angle of where it should<\/i> have been… eesh.<\/p>\n

I've also been lusting after a mini Cooper, but that definitely Won't Do for a primary vehicle. Ah well. :)<\/p>\n

So if any of y'all<\/a> have any vehicle suggestions, I'm listening! :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
