A New Car!

So shortly after our return from spring break, Karl noticed that his car was acting sluggish.  When he was describing what it was acting like to me I was like "Oh no, that sounds like the transmission!"  When I was in college (before getting married)  the transmission went out in my car and that was exactly what happened to it.  Sure enough it was the transmission.  And with the age of our car it really wasn't worth fixing it.  So we decided we needed to trade it in and get something new.  It was bittersweet for us.  We love that old sentra.  For many years it was our only car.  It was the one we drove to and from Albuquerque during our brief stint there, the one we loaded with car seats to bring our two boys home from the hospital, so many memories.  We also were less than enthusiastic about the money for a new car but we bit the bullet and did it.  We bought a white Kia Rio and so far we are loving it.  We actually bought it new because it was the last of the previous year's left on the lot and they wanted to unload it to make room for new merchandise so we got a heck of a deal.  It was not much more than the used Rio they had, plus since it was new it came with a 10 yr/100,000 mile warranty and free maintenance services like oil changes and such for the first couple of years. 

So long Sentra...

Hello Rio!!
