New Car! Less Gas! Whew!

For those of you who don't know, we bought a new car last weekend! We finally traded in the good 'ol 2000 Ford Ranger and we got a 2007 Dodge Caliber! Its basically Eric's car (as I have my brother's old "soccer mom van") but its great. We've been needing a new car for a while.... a carseat in the front seat of a truck is not the safest and the truck was getting old and needing repairs too often... not to mention it was a gas guzzler since Eric commutes 45 minutes to an hour to and from work every day. So, in the long run it will definitely save us money!

Its a really cool little car too! Check the pics out below (not our actual car pictured, but close enough!) It is actually considered an SUV, but its more like the cross between a hatchback and a station wagon. The good thing is it was only $36 to fill up on gas! We'd always stop at $40 on the truck so who knows how much it took to actually fill up. I know my van takes $50 to get it to 3/4 a tank! Ouch!

Some cool features:

- The back seats fold down so you can haul stuff.

- It has a little chill zone in the glove compartment for drinks

- The drink holders light up and glow

- Good on Gas!
