November saw some interesting happenings. First, some 16-year-olds ran a red light and caused a truck to hit into our car and scrape the side pretty bad. I was on my way home from work at 11:30PM. I'm glad Margo wasn't there. We got to drive around a rental car for a few weeks until we settled the insurance claim, which we got some money to put towards a new car.
We ended up getting Goober, the Duchesne auto mechanic, to put some new doors on it so the car would still be drivable.
Even though the blue doors were pretty smashing, we wanted to something a little more reliable. As we were looking the car started to have a few more problems, such as the engine misfiring, so the hunt for a new car intensified. Amidst car selling scams on Craigslist and other classifieds, we actually found a good deal posted on a 3x5 card in the Wilkinson Center on BYU campus. Margo was not into it at all, mainly because the car was a.....any guesses? Another red ford taurus. We looked into it further and it actually was a really good deal. It's newer, 200,000 less miles on it, and we were able to get it that day. Getting this car really turned out to be a blessing because we got it right when we needed it, it's reliable, and we were able to pay for it with money we had saved up.
