Our Changing Life

Big Changes

Well, yesterday I traded my van for an Elantra. I am getting almost $6000 back because the van was worth more than the Elantra. The Elantra is brand new. It is metallic blue. The van was too much vehicle for me. But I sure will miss that van with all it's features and comfort. And Randy bought a used Suburban to pull the travel trailer with because we just decided old Brownie wasn't really up to it. So we certainly don't need a Suburban and a van. The Elantra will get much better mileage than the van. The suburban will get bad mileage because it has a big engine but we will only use it for camping and use the Elantra for everything else. I will soon post photos of the new vehicles. The Suburban is a 2002 and was a really good price for Randy to afford. We thought of getting something newer and in diesel because even though diesel costs more, it gets better mileage when pulling a trailer. But the amount we saved by buying the Suburban was $9000 so the difference in mileage will make up for in the savings of the purchase price.

As for Brownie, she is still here. She belongs to Randy and he is probably going to sell to Marty for the amount he has paid for it so far. Brownie has new windshield wiper blades and a brand new battery. So I guess we are really crazy these days with all the things we have been doing.
