New Family Truckster???

Oh how I miss those WONDERFUL summer days.... when we would sleep in, go to swimming lessons, eat lunch, and I would have BLOG TIME!! Of course, I have PLENTY to blog about, but blogging everyday hasn't been happening lately like I would prefer so my loyal blog readers bear with me as I attempt to catch up multiple days in one sitting!!! I do not feel like the blog is a burden or something I have to get done. Actually I almost enjoy blogging as much as scrapbooking if you can believe that!!!! This past weekend we were looking at some of the first blog posts and having a great time laughing and reading...like those days were so long ago!!!! But truly it is amazing how many of those little funnies and stories that we would forget if they were forever saved to the blog!!! I am just waiting for the notification from blogspot that says I am to my limit of free space and it will cost me big bucks a month for more space!! heehee!

So the REAL reason for the post...

No it is NOT mine.... I am test driving it for a couple of days and of course I am in LOVE!!! It is just MASSIVE on the inside and drives like a dream. I have liked these cars (Ford Flex) since they have come out. I think they are different and not a mini van. I think selling my Mustang and driving a mini van when I was 23 totally scarred me for life!!!! It is nothing against a van, in fact we borrow Mom's anytime we take the fam. on a road trip for more than an hour!!!! It's just that I've been there and done that without the best of memories!!! (I still have nightmares about sliding doors that won't shut!!! :)

So, this is it... we have some thinking to do. We know we need a new car and that this one really is a great fit for our family. We would like to get the Grand Prix sold first and not have to trade it in since the trade-in price is not good compared to what it would be if we sold it. Not to mention that buying a new car also comes with a sweet new payment, tags, taxes, and higher insurance and cutting back is never fun.... we have been pretty lucky the past few years to be able to have only one low car payment so this is a pretty BIG DEAL!!!!! Cause you all know I like to spend my extra $$ on scrapbooking supplies, pedi's, and clothes!!!! But I think it may be time to re-evaluate the ole' finances and make this happen!!!
