That new car smell

Sorry I've been lazy about my blog lately. The days have been pretty hectic lately--partly because we've spent a lot of time after work at car dealerships. Marc decided that the Rover isn't the best "drive around town" vehicle (duh) and he wants to avoid putting any extra wear and tear on it, considering how easily and expensively things can break on it. So we started looking at cheap, efficient cars. Honda Fit, Nissan Versa, Mazda 3, Scion xB. Then we looked at Civics. Then we looked at and ended up with a Scion tC. It's more than we initially planned on spending for a third car, but isn't that what always happens? It's pretty sweet--silver, auto locks and windows, sunroof, and a hook up for my iPod. It's a zippy little car, and it gets better mileage than the Rover and the Infiniti.

We're preparing for another heat wave with temps in the 100s for the next couple of days. Our power better not go out this time...
