New Car...Well, New to us...

We always thought that we would drive this car until it died, but we are now saying goodbye to our 2000 Nissan Maxima. (This sweet photo reeled the buyers in.) We really have loved this car and it is hard to sell it when it has been so reliable. The buyer had his mechanic check it out for him and it was even harder to let it go, when we heard him report that it was in excellent condition. But we really don't need 2 cars right now, and we actually were able to sell this car just a week after buying our new car. (And selling it payed for half of our new car!) We bought this Maxima right before Parker was born, with the idea that it at least had to get us through Law School, and it did!
And we are now the proud owners of a 2004 GMC Envoy. (We did wash it, but since then it has been rainy and dusty and windy, so it is pretty dirty in these pictures.) It seats 7, so it is perfect for our growing family. I am not so excited about driving a bigger car, but if you have more kids, you have to get used to driving something bigger at some point. Hopefully, it is as good to us as our Maxima. I guess we will drive it until it dies, or until we outgrow it. Well, we'll see about that...

hmmm, interesting, Paul just promised me we could borrow the Max while we are in town next week. I guess selling it is cool too.

Come on Dave, you know all my promises are conditional - either expressed or implied.

Appears that promise was impliedly conditional on our not selling it.
