Hyundai Accent


Well we did it. Due to the increase in gas prices we had to break down and get a gas efficient vehicle. So we went "looking", but came home with a 2008 Hyundai Accent. We traded in Scott's F150. We figure with the payment and the gas cost we will be saving about $400 per month. It is alot smaller than I am used to, but I really like it.

That was a smart move, and it's cute too. What are you going to do with all your extra $ now?!

I would like to purchase a new horse, but we will probably just pay extra on all of our other debt.

Also a smart move. Not as fun though, huh? We're becoming increasingly more responsible too. =)

We are also trying to cut back on driving "the beast"....so I've been either driving the little green car or better yet....I stole dad's fast orange mitsubishi eclipse (while he is gone). We are looking for a smaller rig too...probably a toyota tacoma. Smaller, but not too small.

Yeah our little car is so much nicer on gas. I just filled up at 4.59 per gallon and spent 42.44. On the Expedition that would be like 2 swipes of the debit card, since it only allows you to go to 75.00.
