The Search Begins

We've looked online at some different makes and models of cars. We're comparing gas mileage and all that sort of stuff. There are so many choices out there.

I positively HATE looking for new cars. It might be fun if you could go look at cars and choose whatever you want, and not have to worry about the price or car payments.

Anyway, the insurance has told us what they'll give us for our old car. It's already gone; hauled off to the salvage yard.

Jess asked yesterday about taking the new tires off the car. I mean, they were put on the car Tuesday. The car was wrecked Friday. $450 worth of tires used 3 days.

Well, it's a no-no to take anything off the car. However, the insurance people said to fax the receipts for the tires to them. That sounded good. I was all excited thinking they'd reimburse us for the tires. Ha! Today they told Jess he'll get $81 for the tires.

What a joke! Why did they bother asking for all the paperwork for a measly $81??? All you can say is it's better than nothing.

So we've browsed in a couple of car lots and are starting the search. Jess is leaving tomorrow for Florida, and we've got to go to Atlanta next Tuesday night, so probably won't do much more looking until after we get back home Wednesday.

Fortunately, he has a rental car, so we've got a little leeway. But we'll have to get serious about looking after these 2 trips coming up are over.

A car, a car, we need a car!
