Dreams really do come true!

As of late we have been talking about getting a new car. Last Sunday we had a good discussion about it and came up with the conclusion that we need to stop being greedy, the Jetta is fine and it gets us where we need to go! We decided we will drive it until it can't drive anymore! Our dream came true two days later when Todd was driving to work on the freeway. Traffic was going 5 MPH and the car two behind him was looking over at the highway patrol man...he decided to floor it and he hit the car in front of him, that car hit Todd, and Todd hit the car in front of him! All in all it was a 4 car pile up. The car is totaled! No worries though, Todd wasn't hurt! It was the BEST thing that could have happened to the Jetta.
I bought it when I was sixteen, 5 years ago. We just received the check from the insurance company and its for $500.00 less than I paid for the car with taxes and everything! So basically I drove the car for $100.00 a year. I can't believe it. We took the money and ran! SO now we are car shopping, if you guys see anything good let us know!

Wow! Thats crazy! Car shopping is hard. We have a subaru imprezza & love it. It's really great in the snow & gets really good gas mileage. It also had the safety harnesses for a carseat.
