So, after getting our new jobs, my wife and I got a new car. Why? Because the old van was having a terrible time with coughing fits and nights of sleeplessness. Oh, wait, that was me. The van was guzzling too much gas. And it also was beginning to tremble at the thought of being driven. So, what did we get? The title says it all: A PT Cruiser. Below is a picture of it. We’re actually enjoying it quite a bit. It’s about 2 years old but has a 3 year warranty left on it. It’s got some nice features. One of my favorites is that it has an auxiliary input so we can hook up our mp3 players to the radio directly¹. Of course, the best feature is that it doesn’t have a dent the size of a small island nation on the passenger side door. That’s always a plus. Check it out:

It’s the same red all of our other vehicles have ever been². A coincidence? Probably. I like black and my wife likes blue. This one was in our price range and gets great mileage. So we got what we got.

2. except for the van, which was white [«]
