Used Car Obsession

Exactly two weeks have passed since a minor rear-ending incident (my doing) on a 128 on-ramp ended the useful life of my old Mazda. Since then, we've been spending obsessive amounts of time on websites like Craig's List, Carfax, Edmund's, and Blue Book, and just as our search began to invade our dreams the past few nights, we decided to pull the trigger on a 2000 volvo v40. I'm not sure what it says about where we are in life that we will now own two volvo station wagons, but for now, we are simply glad that we will be capable of transporting ourselves in more than one direction at a time.
