After dragging the Passat for over 2000 miles, it is no longer a viable mode of transportation (Justin read- "good car"). We needed a new car, so off we went to go car shopping. Luckily a friend of ours let us borrow his car for a few days and we were able to get around fairly easily. Now as I said in the previous post, Cassie wanted a different car. The truth is ever since I wrecked her Mitsubishi Eclipse (shown below) she has wanted another "pimpmobile".
This small modest car was Cassie's first choice, she has moved beyond Eclipses. The Audi TT, is made by the same plant/factory/company as VW (just like Mercury=Ford, Acura=Honda, etc.) Fortunately, Cassie in her present state had a hard enough time just getting in the front seat, let alone trying to haul a car seat out of the backseat. On to the next.
Just for fun, she thought a convertible might work better. Next.....
Yet again, I had to be the voice of reason. Finally, after endless hours in some of the most questionable establishments, we found a "good car". It is a '96 Toyota Camry (look familiar Mel?) The interior is in near perfect condition, it does have 120k miles, but it rides better than a lot of newer cars. The only downside is it's a two-door, but it is pretty easy to get into the backseat.
Our grand plan is to use this car until Sept at which point we will need to purchase another car. I can't catch any buses to Baltimore when it is snowing or raining and I will have clinicals 4-5 times per week. Hopefully, our next car will be a four door. And after all our kids are grown and moved away my wife will be one of those gray haired ladies driving a Corvette or something like it, and all the kids will complain that she is too old to even enjoy it.

Nice ride guys! I sure loved my Camry (or rather the Camry that Mom and Dad so graciously let me use) until it met the same fateful demise as your Passat! :) Love you guys!
