My new car!!

No, it's not sitting in my driveway, but with any luck it will be very soon! After PDaddy's constanting LOATHING of our current family car (which was bought of my choosing--mostly because of it's good mileage vs. size for our long-legged and growing children), I have finally caved and said, YOU'RE RIGHT, LET'S DO IT. Only now, PDaddy has backtracked and says we can wait another year! Gggrrr!! After a bit of wheedling, I think I may have him back on track! We're looking at several hybrids and some non, but we are definitely going into this with fuel economy in mind. I refuse to buy any vehicle EVER again that does not get at least 30. Its' ridiculous that we're lining the pockets of some Saudi prince, president of Iran, or Exxon exec. GGRR! Anyway, I think we're going to go drive a few Saturday when we're Christmas shopping and lunching without the kiddos. I'll report back! (I'm gunning for my long beloved Volvo!! Fingers crossed!)

Good for you going Hybrid! I'm so jealous. We have a Suburban and an EXCURSION which gets like 7 mpg. UGHHHHHHHHHHHH. My next car will definitely be smaller and get more mpg.
