NOW WE WAIT

the old white beetle with the who sticker and peace symbol was a regular character in some of bill's post, thus the following post to those who might care...

we bought a new car today. i last mentioned that we were looking at used minis and used beetles. we weren't happy with what we were seeing. somehow (cough: matt and mel), we've become somewhat frugal in the past couple years. the prices for these models in a used car come at a premium, and we didn't like what we saw. changed direction and decided that if were going to pay those prices, we'd pay for a new car. so we looked at a lot of different models and decided on the toyota yaris. never heard of it? here's what we bought.

i wanted the sedan. bill wanted the hatchback. i wanted white. bill wanted black. so we got a white hatchback.

then... we came home and looked for the all-important sticker. here's what i ordered. there were 2,000 to choose from!

THEN... the obligatory who sticker. bill wanted this one:

i wanted this one:

we ordered both.

ooh, i've been looking at the yaris actually. i have a 1992 honda accord that's slowly going downhill and just need something to drive back and forth to work (13 miles each way). but, i like the OPTION of bringing my kids to soccer practice or whatever. let me know how the car does for you guys!

at last a new type of car I've heard of!

I love the way you both contributed to the choice.

My car is an '85, truck is an '86. Should I update?

No, I shouldn't. The sticker purchasing would be very stressful, as I would want just the right sticker and when I finally found it my honey would not like it. I think I'll leave the tattered vehicles as they are.

Btw, I saw a bumper sticker in Los Angeles this weekend that you will both appreciate:

Cool ride. I've had a 94 toyota pickup for 11 years, and it has never left me walkin. If you treat them right, toyotas run forever.

Good luck with your new car. It looks really nice.

We were shopping for a used car for Don, and came up with the same thought. They want too much for somebody else's problems. Now we're looking at new ones.

Toyotas ROCK. They never go bad. I have a friend whose toyota is coming to the 200K mark and it is still running like a charm. Now THAT'S being environmentally friendly!
