Well the car was a little more difficult to fix than first anticipated, so they took it in to get it fixed. The cost $1800. Yikes! Needless to say we didn't get it fixed, seeing that we only paid $900 for the car. Yesterday I went frantically looking online and in the paper at cars. We found a 2001 Chevy Prizm (really a Toyota Corolla built for Chevy) for $2000 less than the blue book price and bought it from a Toyota dealership. So Steve is thrilled to have a car that isn't puke brown and not 1 year from being in the classic car category :). It helps that 2 neighbors of ours have the same car and love it. If you know anyone who would like to buy a 88 Chevy Celebrity for cheap, let me know. It needs new brake lines and a gas line, but the body of the car is in good shape. Kind of like a fixer upper project for a father-son duo. Anyways, I'll post a picture soon.

Oh Jen! It just never ends, does it? I am so sorry for the constant trials lately. You must be way stronger than you think you are :)

That is an awesome praise that you found one for cheaper than blue book!!!! Can't wait to see the picture :)

I will ask my dad if he knows anyone who needs one.
