Tale of Two Cars

This is the tale of two cars, or maybe three. I’m not sure which yet but let me just make this announcement: we are now a family of 5 automobiles.

It was about four years ago when I wrote Good-bye CR-V, Hello Camry. That was a difficult period in my family’s life. I do chuckle a bit when I read that post. It’s about a car! But then again, it wasn’t. It was about grief and all that was going on.

Monday we purchased a 2008 CR-V, just like the one I drove before, except for the color.

This was a good move money-wise. It saves me a lot of money every month which makes me very happy. I never intended to purchase the exact same vehicle. It just happened. It was a good deal. All is good. But wait…what I didn’t expect was the wee bit of sadness in saying good-bye to the Accord.

I snapped this pic as we were getting in the CR-V, leaving the lot. Who knew I would feel a twinge of sadness? Guess I should have known.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, my husband had just purchase an old car to get him back and forth to work. He got a Toyota Corolla. He finished the deal today.

And now we are a five car family.
