So the Rendezvous aka Lou aka the Tank started having transmission problems. And when i took it in to be looked at my mechanic was like "yo girl I cannot put a transmission in this" - okay so he didn't say "yo" but basically it wasn't worth it to fix up Lou. It was kind of a sad day for me. Despite Lou's aging self with his gas guzzling ways, a lack of sunroof opening, and gas gauge that stopped working two years ago. I loved that tank. I loved having 7 extra seats and giant mirrors. I drove it for 5+ years it had over 150,000 miles on it. It was a good car. And I probably most of all will miss NO car payment. But all good things must end.
So I went car shopping I had my heart set on a nice newer but not brand new station wagon - like a Volvo or Subaru one with a third seat if it could be found. Well I found one actually two however at the last minute I was like 'maybe not' so I thought it over. And at the last second I went with a Honda Civic that get's 35-40 mpg instead and it's more affordable. Surprisingly while I miss the tank - I already like having the Civic and it's gas efficient ways. 8.12.2012

Nice! I can't wait to go for a ride when the backseat isn't used for quilting stuff.
