This is the new car we bought today. (Not really. It's our old car that we fixed.)
We only paid $3,500 for it! (Not really, we paid for it long ago but recently paid the transmission shop to fix it).
We are so excited about it. (Not really, it feels like the same old car but with a bunch less cash in my wallet to have to sit on while driving).
Tonight I tried to trick our family into taking a ride in our new car instead of lamenting the fact that we didn't spring for a new one. We pretended and zipped the family out to Target to buy some toilet paper and almonds.
It sure was fun looking for our new car in the parking lot when we came out of the store.
With a wife this stunning, who needs a really nice vintage Mercedes Benz?

Scary that Sofie looks as tall as Lisa. Tell them kids to stop getting so tall! We miss you guys and wish we could send you a car freshener that smells like new car scent to go with your new car.
How nice to see you active in CyberSpace. The people in Detroit probably wouldn't feel good about you fixing an older car, they would want you to buy a NEW one. But you did the right thing.
Can't wait to hang out with this crew and their awesome new transmission in a couple weeks.
Yay! A new car! And yes, Lisa is gorgeous. Say hello for me.
My excitement over my new transmission doesn't match yours, but I'll match my Ranger with your veedub in hauling toilet paper anyday.
I love your attitude AND your gorgeous wife and kids! I believed you on the new car thing though. It looks so pristine!
I know what you mean. I just got a brand new 1999 Black Suburban, complete with a sparkling transmission and a nifty shiny fuel pump. Oh wait, that's my old car, and mine came with a handsome Swede. I'm trying to drive it until the tires fall off and the engine catches on fire or something of the sort. Because hey...status symbols are just symbolic, right? And who needs that?
