New Car = More Bills

Through High school, and most of Blake's BYU-Idaho career my little '96 Honda Accord has lasted us. I love that car, I mean it was my first car. My dad bought it from my Aunt Sharon in 2007. I had been driving, and well... lets face it, sharing a car with my mom wasn't the least bit of fun. I needed it for work, and she needed it to run motherly errands. Anywho, while living with my parents for the rest of high school, I had ZERO bills. (Now a nice concept). So I made monthly payments to dad to buy my car off of him. Somewhere between my 18th birthday and graduation, dad nixed the last $200 bucks and went with me to finally put it under my name. (Seeing how I had already met Blake, and marriage was in the picture already). The car is still running, but is only worth about $1,000 (not even, I don't think), with the 300,000 miles and some cracks and dings and chipping paint, I would say it's time for a new car. 'Cuz who knows how many trips back and forth to the Tri- Cities it'll last us.

So dad, is wanting to get my mom a Honda Pilot. Which means..... The CAMRY is for sale! We are really getting a great deal from him on it. But this just means another extra bill. we are thinking of keeping the Accord because 2 cars would really be nice. But will the insurance bill be nice as well? We will see soon!
