Cars Cars Cars

I spent a lot of time in the car again yes­ter­day. It seems to be my lot in life anymore.

When we bought Allu­na, we need­ed to trans­port five peo­ple on a reg­u­lar basis, but we weren’t real­ly dri­ving that many miles. She’s com­fort­able, but her fuel econ­o­my isn’t par­tic­u­lar­ly economical.

I saw a 2002 Toy­ota Prius Hybrid for sale today at a good price. curiousmay9 says they have a nois­i­er ride than her Hon­da, but oth­er­wise, they’re pret­ty good. I still want a com­fort­able vehi­cle, though, and I like qui­et. I’m not quite ready to move for­ward yet, so I’ll just keep look­ing and try to fig­ure out what kind of car I do want.

We will need a larg­er vehi­cle again after our hoped-for baby arrives next year, but I fig­ure we can switch vehi­cles then instead of pay­ing so much for gas now.
