I consider your post an answer to prayer (although not the answer I wanted!)<BR/><BR/>My '98 Izuzu Trooper blew a head gasket ...$1800 to repair!! I say, "why put so much money into an 8 year old car?"<BR/><BR/>My hubby says the opposite, since the vehicle still is well otherwise...<BR/><BR/>I love your blog, BTW! Honesty is refreshing!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282742626891836278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32140231.post-21161559852611465652007-03-09T13:58:00.000-08:002007-03-09T13:58:00.000-08:00Bwahahahah!

Just when you want an SUV, remember there's someone with a rickety wagon who's jealous of your minivan. :D <BR/><BR/>number 2:<BR/>Lauren, I think you're cool for driving a truck. It totally says, "I'm bucking the system... I'm hardcore." <BR/><BR/>3:<BR/>I have hissy fits, too, where I want to have certain things because everyone else seems to have it that way. Like, I want a house. And I too have been humbled in realizing that it just isn't practical, and we just aren't ready yet. *sigh* You get a big hearty pat on the back for doing what you've done. It's not easy, especially when "the Joneses" are zooming around in cute suvs.Xenia Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08880128865699100105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32140231.post-4396110503063178412007-03-07T07:42:00.000-08:002007-03-07T07:42:00.000-08:00Oh Michelle, I so know what you mean. Jason's truc...Oh Michelle, I so know what you mean. Jason's truck has the dreaded third door so I only have an awkward access to the back seat on one side of the car. The pits when you get back to your car and someone has parked too close to you and you need to some how get your kid back in along with the huge boxes from Costco! Aaaaah! Thanks for commiserating with me. :)Lauren S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16984325917642849620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32140231.post-7068100446579994872007-03-06T18:15:00.000-08:002007-03-06T18:15:00.000-08:00Oh, I feel the same way! You are not alone. I ha...Oh, I feel the same way! You are not alone. I have my old '98 minivan and I am so jealous of people with two back doors (ours only has one of the right side- how impractical for a mama of two kids!). We also have the discussion about getting a new car, but since this car is also paid for, it doesn't make any sense to get a newer car that we would just get stuck paying interest on. So I have to be content with my car (which I actually love- though wouldn't want to admit to one of those young moms with the SUVs).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
