Surprise Numero Uno...Vroom Vroom!

I suck at surprises and I couldn't hold it in anymore so here is....

Surprise #1
WE BOUGHT ANOTHER CAR!!!

Usually our Friday date nights consist of some window and light shopping but this past Friday we made a fairly bigger purchase and got this bad boy.

Now it's no new car but with winter quickly approaching Big Man and I wanted to get another vehicle with 4 wheel drive so we could make it through the snow. We didn't want anything new since it is primarily going to be for winter and off roding so this was just perfect for us,.

It's a '97 Jeep Cherokee and it is now referred to as Project Jeep for Big Man. It needs a little work but for the price tag of $800, we couldn't pass it up. Big Man has intentions of pretty-ing it up a bit and I'll show more pictures then.

This might not seem like a big deal to most but since a little bit before we moved we've been a single car household and it has been difficult at times...manageable but still an inconvenience. I'm so happy now that we have the security of 2 vehicles instead of one.

Yay for a 'new to us' car! : )

Awesome! I'm so glad you were able to get that...... it will make things so much easier!

Lys said...

Congrats on the new addition to the household ;) You will definitely need that for the snow - I just hope this year in PA is not as bad as it was last year. However, Mother Nature might want you to get reacquainted with snow - she did send a quasi hurricane up here *LOL*

Glad you got it before the weather started heading in the icky direction! And at $800, that's a great deal.

That's exciting!

I have a friend who bought a truck for $800.00. He thought he would be using it for a year, at most. He has been driving that thing for about 3 years now (has only gotten oil changes) and he says it is the best money he has ever spent.

yay for a new car!!!

Can't imagine doing the single car thing. That has to be hard. So glad you got a 2nd veh AND you have a man handy enough to know how to fix it up. SCORE!!

Gwen said...

Congrats girl!!! We bought a Jeep this weekend also. However this is an old ass Jeep that has holes in the floor and no top. Also a project for Brian. I bet yours is running first. LOL!!! XOXO

Love it! We're a single car household right now, and I'm with you- its manageable, but an inconvenience. We aren't quite ready to buy another one yet, but soon I hope!

Nice! As a fellow one-car household, I couldn't agree more! Another car is so much nicer!

Congrats on the new wheels! I can't even imagine how you ever got by with only one car! I would have killed myself (or my husband).
