You in the Jungle baby!

Dave and I have been thinking about trading the Ranger in for something more practical for our family. We can't carry passengers and the dogs at the same time and even though we know all of three people in AZ, this can be frustrating. Tuesday and Wednesday nights we went out looking for a wagon/hatchback type vehicle, and on both nights we ended up in the "hot-seat". We were pressured, and lied to, and tempted...and we resisted.

I hate buying cars, new or used, it's so exhausting and you're never happy with the result. You either end up with a car you don't love or you spend way too much and feel really guilty about it. After all this we decided that it would be best to just stay with the Ranger until it's paid off...Dave loves it and he'll need a car again eventually. Our decision made, we went out today to get some AZ insurance for the truck...we were rear ended! We suffered no damage although the other guy's bumper was seriously jacked. I'm just so glad we had the truck, otherwise we would have been seriously jacked.
