We had been experimenting with only having one car since the beginning of July, and it worked great! So, we decided to make the plunge. Which car did we get rid? Obviously it was going to be Jim's because his was a little older and didn't have air conditioning. Even though we had a payment on mine, it got better gas mileage, was newer, and had four doors.
But we didn't choose Jim's. Or mine...
Instead, we are now owners of a Cube Mobile Device.
I know- it's different, but hear me out.
We were going to look and just see if we were in a place to purchase a little bit bigger car because in making the jump to one car, it was going to be the one that lasted us until we began to expand our family, something that would last 5 years or so. We went looking at Toyota Rav 4's and Nissan Rogue's. We quickly learned those were just over our price range. After going back to Nissan to see if they could cut us a deal, our salesman said you should really look at the Cube to which Jim said, "I think those are the ugliest cars ever." Our salesman said they are very roomy and that most are surprised so we should at least give it a shot. And, well it we did, and it was awesome. Jim has at least 6 (or more, I haven't actually measured) of head room ABOVE his head (which never happens in a car) and it gets 28 mpg in the city, it has an iPod and Auxiliary input so it makes listening to the iPod or iPhone (which has the Ranger Radio Broadcast app) a BREEZE! We love it! We test drove it overnight, fell more in love with, got the numbers all together, and bargained away (Jim did this- I said nothing and let him make the deal and he did an excellent job!) and got the car Tuesday! We picked it up Thursday!!
So we own a cube and it's our only car!
And the only thing that I was disappointed in: after spending all that money on a car, they don't give you floormats! Really?

I'm thrilled that you two are a one car family!! That's very exciting.
No words on the new vehicle choice. My opinion is the same as Jim's response. You can convince me of it's awesomeness in Galveston.
Congrats on the deicsion and the car.
I'm sure it's roomy, but I've only seen it in commercials...I'd like to see one in person. Regardless, I hope it really treats you guys well and is more than sufficint for all your car needs :)
