We Got Cash For Our Clunker :)

We finally... took the plunge...and traded in the 96' Chevy with over 339 thousand miles on it...got the 4500 dollar rebate plus another incentive and got this...a 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander. A special "Thank You" is in order to Andy's Mom and Dad for "giving" us the Chevy in the first place. That truck has been a real "trooper" over the years. They were sweet enough to give it to us right after Jolea was born, just to help make ends meet...and it really did. It has been a blessing not having 2 car payments, and although 2 car payments isn't something we intended on...the auto deals that are out there right now are really hard to pass up. Paying for the new car wont be nearly as fun as driving it, but its safe, dependable and it gets great gas mileage. Jolea likes riding in the new car because she is elevated and can actually see out the window as we are driving. The color is Manitoba Green...I have only ever owned white vehicles, so choosing the color was a big step for me. I have really fallen in love with it though because sometimes when I look at it I see a charcoal color, then other times I see a grey color...so really its like the car changes colors :) We really liked the chrome accents too...they just add a little bling! Vroom...Vroom!!!
