The 2013 Car Saga

We have known for a while now that Bruce needed a new car.  His car was still running ok and there was nothing really forcing us to test drive or buy a new car.  That is until last week.  On the 3rd, after a difficult day with Evan, Bruce called to tell me that his car broke down and he was being towed to a garage in Waltham.  So that evening, instead of heading to the carnival and fireworks as we had planned, the boys and I drove to Waltham to pick up Daddy.
We celebrated a super fun 4th of July at Papa & Gramma's house.  Then on the 5th, while the Maxima was getting a new radiator in Waltham, Daddy went to test drive cars.  Well, sort of!  He never actually made it to drive any.  As he was pulling into the first dealership, he hit an aluminum wrapped concrete sign pole and wrecked my car!  Thankfully he was ok but we found 3 days later that my car was totaled!  By this time his car was fixed and ready to be picked up but for a short time we were without a car.
Our good friend, Chris, was our lifesaver...once again!  He picked Bruce up from the accident and was going to be out of town for 2 weeks and insisted that we keep his Trail Blazer.  It worked out perfectly as we looked for, found and bought two new cars...a 2012 Altima for Bruce and a 2008 TSX for me!  I still have not seen a photo of the damage and I don't know that I ever will but I am certainly glad that the 2013 car saga is behind us, no one was hurt and we can (almost) laugh about it now.

I know I'm a little biased but she's a beauty!!
