Blown

Literally....Jarad's little Nissan Sentra's engine, that is. It was a weekday afternoon and Jarad called to say he may or may not be stranded at a gas station half way between work and home. Luckily, he was able to putt (again...literally with a lot of violent shaking of the car I'm told) all the way to the shop. Where, about a week later, we finally heard the fate of the Sentra- death by blown engine! We were a one car family (thanks to our family and friends for lending us cars and rides- one car is tough when we're both working and at opposite ends of the city) for about two weeks or so while we hunted for cars online, at a few dealerships, etc. 


So he used to drive this...
 (it's looking so sad in the shop's lot)



 New & Old Together

And now, he (well WE) is the proud owner of this...
2007 Mazda 3- just what he always wanted...no really...it's pretty much exactly what he wanted! We were lucky to find it and at a great deal too.
