It seems crazy in the middle of everything else going on, but we decided to buy a new car. After talking to the missionary couple that we are replacing and considering our current car with almost 90000 miles on it, we decided it would be wise to replace it before we go. And, of course, if we are replacing it, I wanted to increase the cargo capacity because we are only taking what we can pack in our car with us to Arkansas. We decided to get a SUV and going against our long standing policy of only buying used cars, we decided to go new. Buy cars is a whole new experience since the internet and social media. Just doing research on car brands and styles opened my Facebook feed to advertisements after advertisements about SUVs of all kinds. Making an inquiry about a specific car lead to emails.....it was craziness.
I woke up on Monday morning, February 13th, with strong desire to buy a car and get it all over with so that I could concentrate on other things---like packing! So after finishing items at the Church History Library, I headed out to look at cars. In our family, Gary's goal is to only drive one car--the one we buy. I usually find the car and then he comes and drives it and we buy it. This go around, he drove two as he ended up with me when we stopped at Young Chevrolet in Layton one Saturday.
