Out With the Old In With the New



It's been a hard choice to make but we finally made it. A while back we paid off our Suburban. That big black rig that Bill loved to drive and I hated. We had to say good bye. It still ran but we hated to put in a few thousand to get it to pass inspections again. Slow start getting out of the gate, broken door latch ( Had to roll down the window and open the door from the outside), needed new tires. The back window leaked every time it rained, and the list could go on and on. So we decided to purchase a much more gas efficient used vehicle to replace it. We looked at a few hybrids more than we wanted to spend, so Bill and Willy decided on this little Chevy Aveo. It's a cute little commuter car for Bill. We will probably let the kids have it after a few years, and have Bill get the car of his dreams. Oh yea the kids will have to learn to drive stick so it may take a while for them to learn the tricks of changing gears. It was amazing after all the years of not driving stick it came back to me without any hitches.
I hope our new car will be a great long driving car.
