New Car!?!?!?!

Yes...we got a new car. A brand new car. I'm not sure what to do with a brand new car. Why? Well, our Cavalier that we've been driving for the last three years had seen better days. Being hit 3 times in as many years is not usually good on cars, go figure. Anyway, we'd been having brake, body and wiring problems on it for some time. Which under ideal circumstances would be fine. Chris would be able to fix those seemingly minor problems. But since we don't live in ideal conditions (for that anyway...see Chris's Christmas in Paradise post for further details), it makes it both difficult and expensive. So we weighed our options. See what we could get as a trade in with the Cavalier. Buy a new car and sell the Cavalier. Try and work out a way to fix the Cavalier. So we went to the nearest Chevy dealer, just to see what they had. Here's what we found.

So its not what any of you ever expected us to buy. Yeah well, we never saw that either. But it's amazingly roomy. So roomy in fact that when Chris gets in he still has at 6" of headroom- yeah for him! And we both miss driving a stick shift. And it wasn't a whole lot of money, especially when the dealer offered us a killer trade in deal. Oh yeah, and its really fun to drive! So now we have a new car, what we do next will remain to be seen...

You aren't kidding that it doesn't look like something you would buy! At first glance it looks like a mini-minivan! OK, I have heard Chris's review of it so I won't tease too much. Even better that it hasn't been wrecked.
