My husband and I were talking last night about cars. It looks like one of our vehicles is about to bite the dust. Currently, we own a Dodge Ram truck and a Toyotal Corolla. The truck is the one that is having a lot of problems. The thing is, it is our comfortable vehicle. It’s the vehicle we use for long distance traveling. Lots of leg room and lots of storage space for our stuff.
Our Corolla is our around town vehicle. It’s having problems, too. We can’t afford to get a new car right now. We just paid off the Corolla and the truck has been paid off for several years. We are starting to get our financial situation in order with one less bill to pay. Our tax money went towards the credit card, and we are hoping to get that paid off this year.
The other thing is, my husband can’t work on a new car. He can work on an older car. One that doesn’t have a computer in it. He would love to have a Ford Mustang. We had talked about getting one as our next vehicle. The problem for me is, I don’t think it would be comfortable riding in one on long distance excursions. I have long legs and need to be able to stretch them out.
Looking ahead, I know of one trip that is already planned that I would prefer to take the truck, if it is still alive. We are planning on driving to the BlogHer conference in New York. Now, I am not so sure. I really don’t want to fly up there. I don’t like flying.
What do you think? Should I give in and let my husband get a used Ford Mustang or insist that he find a used truck or van that we can afford?
