Car Woes

This is the third post that contains "Woes" in the title; my life really isn't that bad, the word just fits the posts!

There is another post below this one, don't miss it!

Oh Car Woes...

This is my Xterra...







Ryan was driving home from work last Wednesday night while it was snowing. He hit black ice and the car spun around backwards. It then hit the median on the right side of the road and bounced into all three lanes where it stopped without hitting a single other car.

Ryan hit his head on the side window giving him a pretty good goose egg. Other than that he made it out just fine. His neck hurt the next day which is expected, and that pain and his goose egg went away and he's doing great.

The Xterra on the other hand was not so great. Since it was a 2000, the damages were worth more than the car was, so it was totaled. I'm sad to see it go. It was a good vehicle for us.

On the bright side, we got to car shopping during Presidents Day Weekend. I did a bunch of research on vehicles and found one that we wanted to look at. We got a great deal on it. Stay tuned, for tomorrow I will post pictures of our new beauty.

Oh my gosh!! I'm so glad it's only the car that got the worst of it! How scary of a phone call is that to get!!! Glad he's alright! How fun to go car shopping! Can't wait to see what you end up buying! I want to go car shopping so bad. I already know exactly what I want...I have no excuse though. New cars are so fun!!
