B-R-O-K-E!

*sing to the tune of Fergie's Glamorous*

B-R-O-K-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeee! Yeah, yeah, I'm broke! Flossy Flossy!

So, we have a new to us car that we paid cash for and now we're broke! It feels great making such a large purchase without having to have a loan or going into debt. I have never had a car loan, norI never will. I am too cheap to have to pay interest. Go ahead, watch this, it sums it up. Makes sense, huh? Yeah, thought so!

Anyways, the only bad thing about the new to us car is that we had to spend another $700 getting new tires, an alignment, a tune up, and an oil change. However we got a really good deal. I talked the guy at the waytoomuchmoneyautoplace to beat the three places we were going to take it to to have them done at. (We priced compared at probably 10-15 places before settling on those three.) He beat them all by 10% and gave me a free oil change (a-$30-value-thank-you-very-much!). The guys fixed my flat last week for free! How can I tell them no? They were so very nice. I think I have found our place to stick with from now on. I will just get a quote from another place and ask him to beat it for me!

So yeah, we are back to being broke, but not for long. We will save up again soon!

This is for E (and anyone else interested!), I was laying down and she was climbing on me as I was taking the picture so I didn't get a good angle, but this is the best (most recent) picture I have of her. It doesn't do the comparison very well, but it's close. Don't forget to notice the bow! LOL Bows are so much fun!

So I found this very old post because of Blogger Bingo, and I have really been enjoying your posts going back and back in the archives. I am glad to hear that you found a mechanic you could trust (at the time). I always find it to be so hard to find a place to send my car where I don't feel like I am getting ripped off. This is an adorable picture, what a great smile she has! Happy Bingoing!
