The Neal Mobile
So, S and I have been driving our Toyota Tacoma our married life thus far – a one car family. The dumbfounded looks about that fact interestingly enough have recently turned into knowing nods as we all cry ourselves to sleep at night over gas prices.
However, in order to avoid jail time, we decided to purchase a car that can actually fit our new addition and along with the rest of America, went searching for a vehicle that gets more than the 20 mpg (the mileage of our beloved Black Bear).
And…here is what we came up with:
It’s a Camry – in pretty good shape and has been driven for the past few years by a 94 year old man who did plenty of joy riding in it…all the way up to 35,000 miles. Sweet!! His daughters decided it was finally time for him to stop driving, further evidenced by the fact of the two small dings on the passenger side where he ran into a fence. I really don’t have a leg to stand on though as I , in my pregnancy brain and state, backed into a car not 2 months ago. There’s probably a traffic school out there somewhere committed solely to the education of older men and pregnant women.
Anyways, we’ll strap in the carseat this week in anticipation – hold onto your knickers.
