BLANE'S NEW RIDE

Today Blane helped with the purchasing process of his first brand new car. BETSY (that's what we called the old 1999 Ford Explorer - which we gave Blane when he turned 16) finally gave up. She gave us many good years but the transmission is done. So today we took Blane down to the Toyota dealer and he picked out a NICE 2009 Toyota Corolla Sport - Silver with black interior. He is so excited to finally have a car that doesn't guzzle the gas - he was a smart shopper too - we considered many other vehicle options but he wanted to go with something that got really good gas mileage. He is already talking about everything he wants to do to it - typical guy - new rims, sound system maybe even a little neon lighting inside. I am just glad I have one less Miss Daisy to drive around - I have enough to do with Kamdon and Bailey. Now Scott wants to get a Toyota Corolla to to drive back and forth to work to help take some miles from his Mercedes (since it is a lease) so we may end up getting another one (which Kamdon will inherit next year when he turns 16) - lucky kid would end up with a pretty much brand new car. Our neighbor is a manager at the Toyota dealership so we really appreciated the help with getting a great deal.
