Watch Out! Bobby has a *New-to-us* Car on the Road

First, let me just say we fully believe in buying cars about as often as men buy underwear-- only when it takes a major overhaul keep 'em together. At least I believe in this theory and Bobby now believes it by marriage. So, this Saturday a MAJOR decision was made after months of pondering whether the old blue chief could hold out just a little longer.

But at last, Old Blue was traded in for......

.......(imagine drum roll here)......

...................TA DAAAAA!!!!

Ford Explorer Sport Trac

Plenty of room for baby, plenty of cuteness for Daddy, with a price low enough for haggle happy Mommy.

Of course, just to keep us humble we promptly got a screw in the front tire today (of course, we did not buy the extended roadside warranty). So, Bobby is sweating outside right now trying to figure out how to put on the spare.

Thankfully, there was a spare because neither of us thought to check for that during the test drive. Also, luckily you can read the owners manual online...yep, that was missing too. But the radio and a/c seem to work fine...Guess we should print out a used car checklist before we start shopping for mine in a few months.

Update: Turns out the spare is crap...will need to replace both tomorrow...bummer
