Tuesday June 16th, 2009 – Day 93
Chris and I have been contemplating our car situation. I have an SUV so my car is definitley baby friendly, but unfortunately our saga is over Chris's beloved 2 seater 350Z. Of course it is a great car and it is mint condition because Chris drives his backup (beater car) most days. The beater car is not my favorite not only because it does not have air conditioning, but it needs a lot of help! It is just old, run down, needs some TLC but it has been a great backup car for Chris to take on roadtrips, gets great gas mileage and gets from point A to B.
The dilemna we have is the 2 seater. Since the beater car is NOT baby friendly, the 2 seater is in the hot seat on whether it will be sufficiant enough. It is only 2 seats, would never fit all three of us, has absolutely no trunk space and really is not ideal for a newborn.
Ironically (Thank You Lord) - the beater car died yesterday on the way to work. Chris said he thinks it is the alternater, but whatever the reason - I was secretly pleased to hear that Chris is ready to part with his beater car.
Chris has been car shopping for family friendly cars and he is close to deciding what our family will be driving in the near future. Will it be to get a nice 4 door family friendly car and part with the 2 seater 350Z? Or will we be trying to see how it works keeping the 2 seater 350Z.
Oh boy...Chris is getting rid of his beater...thank goodness! ha! I know he will miss the two seater but he can always get another one down the road...it is family time now!
ReplyDeleteSo what are you two looking at for cars? I am going to be looking something this fall.
