Buick Upgrade

So Ryan's 1997 Buick Century has begun to fall apart completely. As if it isn't already bad enough that the gold car has one green door and a black fender from repairs after Ryan's accident in early 2008, the air conditioner died. I had it recharged twice and a hole patched one of those times only for it to quit again a day later each time. So now it looks like we'd have to replace a several hundred dollar part which still might not be the entire problem. At this point I'd be putting almost a grand in the car plus whatever it would cost to fix the cosmetics which I'd been hoping to do this summer. It has gotten to the point where it is more cost effective to buy a newer car.

As a result, I am now the proud owner of a white 2001 Buick Century with half the mileage whose air conditioning works like a champ and whose doors and fenders are all the same color. I got the car pretty cheap so I don't feel like we're killing ourselves financially and should still be able to easily afford a little nicer family car when Ryan returns home. But at least I've replaced his Buick that he would have had to drive to work with an updated model that isn't about to disintegrate around us. And I'll feel safe driving myself and Baby around in this car until Ryan comes home to claim it. Now to put a decent radio in it...
