WE BOUGHT A NEW CAR....

....at an auction. Well an online auction. Okay, Cordelle did. Its weird, this is the first car either one of us has really bought. He's been looking for awhile for a good deal on a car cause good old Wally the Taurus is definitely on his last leg. So Cordelle hears this ad on a radio for an online auction through Hurricane and decides to see what they're offering. He see's this car for pretty cheap and only like 3 people had bid on it. So he makes a bid. Waits, and waits....then gets nervous at the last second that he might get out bid and so he increases his bid.....only thing was, he totally outbid HIMSELF! There was never another bid in between, so we ended up paying like 500 more bucks than we would have had he been more calm about his initial bid. Either way we got our new 2002 Toyota Camry at a great price and for half of what they were selling it for at the car dealership. Being that it was a charity auction we could'nt really feel good about pleading our case with outbidding ourselves. The dealership that gave it away to the auction said they almost tried buying it back cause it was going for so cheap. Sweet huh? Cordelle is elated. He finally has a car with air conditioning. And it only has like 80,000 miles on it which apparently is pretty good for a camry. Like I'd know. Anyways, its definitely used and got broken into at the car lot so we'll have to replace somethings like the spare tire and the stereo, but its a nice looking car and drives well.
We gave the Taurus away to a family we thought could use it. Although with the long list of things that were wrong with it, we might have been giving them more of a pain then a blessing. Hopefully it wont die right away. It really could.
Anyways as you can see, we're staying with white, just like Wally....but here it is...in the dark (so its hard to see). Wonder what we'll name this one....
