Last Thursday, we received unfortunate news that our beloved Explorer aka 'Exploder', had indeed, exploded. After years of faithful service, she finally headed to the big ol' junk yard in the sky... That is unless of course, we wanted to spend the money to replace the transmission, front wheel bearings, an front wheels. (totaling somewhere around $3000.00). Well, considering the car is maybe only worth $1000, and SUCKED to drive, we decided to place a DNR (do not resuscitate) order and let her go.
So, we had succumb to the thought of sharing a car for a while, say maybe 30 - 90 days until Ryan's commission started coming in from a deal he just aquired at work.
That lasted a day. It was awful. Apparently we are not good at sharing.
We spent all weekend looking at cars, trucks, and SUV's. It was down to the Acura TL and F-150 Lariat. We have now determined that we are not car people and tonight we purchased our new friend 'The Beast'. I hope this is the beginning of many happy journeys to come....

I'm sorry to hear about your Explorer. She can frolic in the junkyard with my totaled Explorer. We know they are in a better place now...and they are in good company!
