The Cars

I must start by saying that I have absolutely loved our 1992 Toyota Celica! It is old, but it has always run so well! I loved looking for that car in a parking lot (though often it was completely hidden due to its smaller size). :) So now I have to say farewell and let my brother and his wife enjoy it. Here are a few pictures of my sister and I shortly after we got the car.

Now, we have a 2007 Corolla. After lots of looking, the actual buying process was really easy. My dad actually came with me to buy the car since Alan couldn't miss school and work. Isn't it nice to know that your husband trusts you enough to go buy a car? :) Anyway, we got it at Rand's Auto in North Salt Lake. They have a little lot, but we were very impressed with their honesty and service. We're loving our new car. A few of my favorite features are the FOUR DOORS, huge trunk, quiet driving, CD player and functioning radio. We feel very blessed to have been able to get this car! (Hopefully I'll get some better pictures in the future, but I felt like I'd delayed long enough.)

Hahaha! What a luxury, four doors! I love the new ride, and I'm sure little Ethan does too! Congrats. It is a big purchase... what a brave wife (and husband too!) I am so glad you found it at an honest car dealer...

Congratulations - that is so exciting! Jeff and I have actually been looking for a new car too, and we have heard great things about Rand's. I'll add your testimonial to the list and we'll have to go check it out.

I love the new look of your blog!

Hooray! Do you feel like a high roller? Well you should feel like a high roller. You have four doors now! I heart Corollas, they are such reliable cars and they get very good gas mileage. I'm so excited for you! Now we need a picture of you driving, with the wind blowing through your hair...

How fun to have a new car! And it does get great gas mileage, which sadly is a must these days...

SWEET... I think that means you have to move out of Wymount. You can't live in a 650 sq. ft. apt. with such a nice car, it just doesn't make sense, lol.
