Bye Bye Ru

Nate and I traded in my Subaru Legacy last night.
To be honest I've never really liked that car and wasn't too sad to see it go.

We've been searching for a new car for a couple of months and after much indecisiveness on my part and frustration on Nate's part I decided on a Toyota Rav 4. The problem is I don't like spending money, especially not thousands of dollars! So, we went used.
Here it is my "new" SUV.

We always name our cars. My Subaru was Ru, my Honda before that was Vick (it was a civic, do you see a pattern?), my Cavalier before that was Max and the Cavalier before that was "The Silver Comet"(thank you Robert Seda). Man I've had a lot of cars!

I'm not sure what to name this one. I suggested Ray, but Nate says that's still in the running for our child's name so I can't use that one.

I think we did a good job dealing on this one. It's a 2006 and has 18,700 miles. We almost walked away a couple times, but finally the guy came back with an amount we were willing to take for my trade. We tried to get them to throw in a trailer hitch, but only managed all weather mats. Oh well.
