new car

so its settled. the plymouth is crunched, gone, and no longer my worry. kind of sad to see it go - it was our first car, and all. and it was the first vehicle i ever had that would be considered a 'car'. previously i had an 86 gmc pickup; before that, an 84 chevy blazer.

oh well. out with the old, in with the new.

thats right, we got a new car! we got it from a great dealer and got a great deal on it. what more could we want?

the rundown: 1998 ford escort zx2 coupe. 2 door. front wheel drive. v6 4cyl [jesse knows]. 1.something liter. ok, so i dont remember them all. i do know the most important thing: its cherry red. and we got a 4 year extensive warranty with it.

this is the newest and nicest vehicle i have ever driven. well, ok - not true. i drove my motheres 2000 gmc yukon a few times, one of which i had caused a major accident. so that doesnt really count.

i am so excited to finally have a reliable vehicle that we wont have to pour another couple thousand into in 6 months to keep it running.

i am a happy camper. we test drove it yesterday during lunch. that afternoon we scrambled to fill out financing paperwork. drove back to the dealership after work, parked across the street in view of the car, and prayed until God gave us an answer.

He is so good to us - i am kind of glad now that He took the plymouth from us. otherwise, i would have never agreed to getting another car. especially one so nice. man, i feel blessed.
