We live in town, but it's a small town. Any real shopping or good doctors are at least 30 minutes away in any direction. I'll have to say that we pretty much go wherever, but there are lots of days we don't leave the house. We do tend to go in my convertible when it's just the two of us since it gets much better mileage than the Expedition.

Saw a 2005 Cavalier for sale in the paper and it said it got 32 mpg. I would love to get better gas mileage, but just can't afford another car right now. The cable on my garage door broke Friday and now we can't get the door open. Rick's getting a new cable today so hopefully I can get my car back in the garage soon.

My garage cabale broke this past year. Gary must have been out of town, because I had to call the garage door company out to replace it. I ended up just getting new garage doors!

The price of gas is the main reason I got my Prius, but I still try to combine all my errands so I don't do so much driving.

Garage door is all fixed now so the van is back in the garage. I'd really like to trade it in on something that gets better gas mileage, although it doesn't do horribly. Maybe someday.

The money you save not making payments can pay for a lot of gas. That's how Glen thinks anyway!!

I know....I do not want payments. I haven't had a car payment in probably 25 years. We always bought one wrecked, Rick fixed it, sold the other vehicle to pay for the newer one.
