The Solution

I'm a little behind in posting this but the Saturday after my whole stuck in the snow episode, we got this. Ta-da! My beautiful, slightly used, 'I can handle you snow!' car! (Why I'm acting like my car can talk I'll never know.) So it might seem that it makes no sense to buy this car with summer almost here, no snow on the ground and gas prices gouging our eyes out but the price was right (Evan would probably beg to differ here - no price was really right for him) and I'm a salesperson's dream. The dealership was willing to take more than the elantra was worth and take a couple grand off of the tucson's price, but Evan was still wanting to walk. He's packing up the diaper bag and trying to usher me out of the salesman's office (I, of course, am saying, "But I'm in love! Don't make me go!") when the guy comes back with a final offer even my stalwart hubby can't refuse. Yea! And I say this to the Colorado winters ... bring on the snow baby! Okay, okay ... give me my lovely summer months first.
