WHOA!! Me Too!

Do you ever drive by someone’s house and notice that they have the two of the same vehicles in their driveway? Well I’m a freak with that stuff and I do. I’m always like, “Wow, I guess they really like that car. But why have two? That seems kinda boring.”

Well, we’re going to try to get out of the car payment business at some point so Jenn can stay home with our daughter (and eventually other kids), so we decided to buy a new car. You see, both of our cars are leases and my 2004 VW Jetta is worth more than her 2004 Jeep Liberty. Over the weekend, my wife and I went and bought a 2007 Liberty (crazy discounts on it now) and are trading in the Jetta. The new one is a totally different color and is an upgraded model. I’ll drive the 2004 Liberty until May when we return it and then I'll get something used. I want her and Allie to be in the newer, safer car.


Now I see how this could happen though. At least one will be in the garage!

BTW............she's still getting a real Christmas present too. This is just a coincidence.

That's so cool. But the important question is what color is it?

My neighbors have two silver lexus SUV's. I completly think they are boring and a bit loserish.

Bit if you buy yours in a different color, I think it will be okay.

Your such a sweet hubby. How many kids do you two plan to have?

Melissa - It's Light Khaki metallic. Like I said, It's only for a few months anyway.

Barbara (Layla) - I say two, but she wants three. Our agreement is that if the second is another girl, we'll go for three. If it's a boy, then we'll have one of each and we'll probably stop there.

when I see two of the same cars like that, I think of Todd and Margo from our favorite holiday movie, Mike, lol....

I wish I could get myself a new car. Right now I'm carless because I need a new alternator. Doesn't really matter when I'm in school because I can't have a car up here anyway but once Winter Break starts it's going to be rough.

Now you just need matching outfits to cruise around the block in your matching cars. That would be cool. Bwahahaha!!!
