What A Weekend


Our minivan has a peculiar problem. Whenever it drives through a nice sized puddle of rain, the drive belt falls off, and the van is practically undriveable until the belt is put back on. The Sunday before last, it rained all day long, and right before we got to church, we hit a big water puddle. We had a suspicion that the belt had fallen off, and we found out for sure when Spencer went to turn into the parking lot of the church. There was absolutely no power steering and the engine temperature was getting hot. Spencer and his dad were able to get it fixed the next day.

Spencer took off this last Friday and today to work on completely redoing our bathroom. On his way to Lowe's, he stopped by the car dealership just to see about test driving a Tahoe. When he got there, they were having a red tag clearance sell, and the Tahoe's were marked $4,000 off the sticker price, but amazingly, no one waited on him. He went on to Lowe's like a good man should. When he got home, he decided to check out how much payments would be. After that, he ended up at the dealership for a couple of hours, and brought home a vehicle for me to see.

We then went back to the dealership and haggled over prices until we almost walked out the door without anything new. The dealer finally made a good offer, and we bit it.

I didn't tell Spencer until afterward, but posted on the door was an advertisement that said, "Red Tag clearance, The Price You See Is The Price You Pay." :) He said he never saw it.

Kathy-no it's not a 4X4. That was a little too much.
Lynlee-You better catch up with me soon. I've been thinking about you a lot lately. Hope all is going well.
