It hurts to have to post this but this was a significant part of our life and I like to keep these kinds of records. One morning at the beginning of February, I set out on an early morning to get to a dentist appointment. As I tried to turn out of our neighborhood, I failed to realize there was a blind spot and got a little to close to a gentleman’s truck bumper. It was scary, but thankfully I was not hurt. To be clear, I have not had a wreck in well over twenty years. It had been raining and when I realized there was a truck there, I slammed on my breaks and slid in to the truck. I think he was slowing down too which, I think, kept both of us from getting seriously injured. I was also in our big ol, super safe Taurus and didn’t even feel a bump. Believe me when I say the picture looks much worse than it actually was.
The sad news is that we had to tell our beloved Taurus goodbye. Really, ya’ll. This car was amazing. My least favorite part of being an adult is going car (or appliance) shopping. Mark knows this and he did his best….for both of us….to minimize our annoyance.
We found a nice Hyundai and are all set. While it’s smaller and not as nice as our Taurus, it does get great gas mileage and it’s what we need right now.
It’s not red! Oh what were we thinking?!
Taking Emmie to an appointment in Atlanta, I hit 42 miles per gallon ya’ll! Of course, that was before I had gotten in to Atlanta.
