new. car.

since we are moving to Oregon, Paul really wants a 4-wheel drive.  so we started looking for a new car.  we know of a phenomenal car salesman if you need a car. he has mostly hondas on his lot and he is a solid guy.  Dave Carothers is his name.  Check him out if you're interested and tell him that Paul and Kylee sent you :)  

so we got a west coast kind of car since we will soon be west coasters ourselves.  we LOVE it!  i never thought i would be driving a bright orange box on wheels element. i used to hate the look of them, but now i seriously love it.  come visit and we'll take you for a ride!

looks like a tortoise, runs like a hare.

it is so spacious!  it only seats 4, like a jeep wrangler.  so the back seat has so much leg room!

the seats fold up to the sides so that we can haul our bikes inside the car, or really just haul whatever we want.

and of course, we wouldn't buy anything other than a manual.   since i'm such a control freak, i feel more in control of more car when it's a stick shift... especially in the winter :)

what a blessing!

well, this is probably my last post for at least a week.  since we are moving tomorrow, we probably won't have internet for a while :)  prayers are greatly appreciated.
