We have been talking about checking into more economical transportation for a while. I did some research and narrowed down the choices to 3 different vehicles. Since I got off work early Friday, we made a rapid trip to Houston to LOOK at the choices. We liked all of the choices, but only one REALLY made good economic sense. The salesman was very nice, gave us a test drive car, and made us a good deal, so we signed away our lovely Town and Country minivan and purchased a VW Jetta TDI (diesel).
We picked up the car this evening and drove a little farther to have supper with Rebecca and Danny. It will take a little adjustment after the years of vans and minivans, but I think I really like this little car. It is roomy, has a few bells and whistles, and handles very nicely. The really good thing is that I won't have to fill it up as often. It is supposed to get between 40 and 50 miles to the gallon. Travis is still amazed that the little car doesn't clatter like his diesel pickups. And it doesn't stink, either. The other feature that allowed us to trade off our T&C is that four people can actually ride COMFORTABLY in the car. (Becca and Danny tested it by riding behind Travis and me on the way to get supper.)
Everyone have a blessed and Happy Easter!!!
