So the Tracer finally died on me... well not really, but I didn't want to put the $1,000 into it that it needed, since it wasn't worth it. I blew out the head gaskets, so it was in rough shape. Dave was able to put some stuff in the radiatior so that it ran long enough to trade it in.
I got a 2005 Chevy Cavalier. Not the fanciest of cars, but dependable and in my price range. It is rather cute too. VERY comfortable. The only downside... no cruise control... but I found out that I can have one put in for $300.00 later on. We looked at a PT Cruiser, which had it, but it was about $2,000 more and 4 years older. We also looked into getting a minivan, but the gas mileage is HORRENDUS. So a small car is going to suit us well. Thank God for Dave though... with my credit, I would have had to start riding a bike! He takes care of us, he is a great guy, and is going to be a wonderful husband. I can not wait... 42 more days!!
