R.I.P., Ssassy.....
The insurance agent called this morning. Our only car is totaled. The damage was $500 more than the vehicle was worth.
Is it crazy to mourn a car?? We took such good care of it, hoping it would get us through until I was granted disability benefits. It was extremely reliable.
We looked at two Saturns today. One was too old (no air bags) and the other needed some work. I'm trying to find the safest car I can afford.
I went online and found two cars that almost fit what I want. I ran Carfax checks on them and they passed 100 percent. So tomorrow I will make some phone calls and maybe Dan and I will test drive them.
I'm really hoping to cut down on the leg work of car shopping by at least finding likely candidates online. I'm simply not able to go from car lot to car lot, walking for miles in search of a bargain. I had to do that seven years ago when my previous car was totaled, and I remember how exhausting it was dealing with pushy salespeople and questionable private sellers.
Dan's neck is hurting him quite a bit now. Sometimes whiplash gets worse after you start to really relax. Thank goodness the moist heat packs and Flexeril do help.
Whatever we come up with, it will need to be something we can still get some serious use out of. Thank goodness we are expecting a refund on our taxes. It will be seven years before our financial situation will allow a monthly car payment, so as long as nobody else hits us.....
But I miss my little white Saturn.
