Cash for Clunkers...

That's right, Cash for Clunkers, and boy, did we have a car that fit that description:) Today was the day the government program officially began, and I read where so many car dealers were accessing the website this morning that it crashed! We never set out to help Kellen buy a new car, but when we found out we could get $4,500 dollars for our 1991 Pathfinder (we bought Betsy when I was pregnant with Kellen, and it needs work and new tires), we couldn't pass the deal up. On top of that, we got 0% financing on the remaining balance, which Kellen will be paying monthly. Mind you, the car is the most basic Chevrolet Aveo (remember when you had to roll your windows up???), but it will be perfect for Kellen the gas driving back and forth to classes (40 min. one way), not to mention we don't have to worry about it breaking down. Mike had actually gone down yesterday to work out the kinks with the dealer, so all they had to do today was fill out the government paperwork, then Mike could sign on the dotted line. We were all a bit sad to see Betsy go,

but now we're busy thinking up names for the new car. Hmmmm, I'm thinking the color might have some influence on the name:)
