So today marks a day where we begin the relationship with yet another car. Jeremiah and I have been through our fair share of cars, with us usually ending up with bad luck somehow........

Car 1: Jeremiah had a sweet old oldsmobile at CLBI maybe a late 80's car. Unfortunately hit a deer. Tragic Death.

Car 2: We somehow took over Josh's old brown mazda 626 '88. We had it maybe a year or less, when I was cruising Macleod Trail and the strut fully punctured the tire and it wasn't able/ worth it to be fixed.

Car 3: We took over Jer's parents buick, which was a luxury mobile by our standards, maybe a 92', but alas an intense maybe 2000$ fix was necessary, so it was not worth the fix.

Car 4: For 200$ donation to the church (sellers request) we got the 1992 Nissan Sentra. It was a good little rusted car that required me to learn standard, a skill I am happy to now own. Though it made a good trek to Florida when Jeremiah and Josh went, in just over a year it needed a new clutch for over 1000$, and being the rust bucket it was becoming, it again was not worth the fix.....which led to car #5

Car 5: This was the first car we truly looked up ourselves and decided to buy. We thought it was an ok deal, $2500, for a cute little toyota tercel with low milage. Unfortunatly turns out it was all rusted out and the engine finally died in less than a year from when we bought it, when Jeremiah was cruising into Calgary one day. Another 2000$ fix, not quite worth it for this car.

Car 6: This is our most newest car to add to the bunch. It is a 99' Saturn. We bought it at a family member home auction. On the day of the auction it actually ended up being in the shop, which caused, we think, us to get it for a bit less than they wanted as others weren't able to actually see the car. Then it turns out they had to do a major fix on it, and pay a cut to the auction company. In the end they got a lot less for it, which was unfortunate for them, but I guess you could say helpful for us, as this major fix was done and we got a reasonable price.


Anyway, as you can see we have been through 6 cars in 6 years. We are hoping this one will make it a little bit longer. We are grateful to the sellers for selling us the car, even though given the circumstances, had they went with a private sale could've gotten much more. It is a true blessing.

Here are a couple picks of us with the old car and the new saturn. Can you tell we like mint-ish green?? :)
