Yesterday, Stud Muffin and I converted a major asset into something more practical. Yes, folks, the Big Rolling Turd is no longer a member of this family!
I am sorry to see it go, but the state of the world required it. As much as I loved cruising down the road with my panoramic view from my co-pilot's seat, with me in school and Studly earning the bucks, we couldn't figure out when we would ever be able to take another trip!
We also got rid of the cursed car.
BUT. We got two really neat cars, that get great gas mileage, and will actually get used! Here's my new little Malibu:
Pretty, sparkly red! I'm all about the red!And Studly's Traverse:
Sorry about the shady photos. Late afternoon, limited sunlight!Now, I know this looks suspiciously like the tire-eating car we traded in, but it's not. This vehicle is lower to the ground, and gets much better gas mileage. Always a plus in this economy!
So, I'm sorry, Marmy. You did not get over here fast enough to stay in the Turd. Guess it's back to Steve the Shed for you... if you ever visit!

Congrats on the new wheels and many happy and safe miles.
Good deal! We have a medium sized RV we bought and it's almost paid off. Last year we hardly got to use it because of gas prices. We're keeping it but it seemed so much neat til I realized how dang expensive they were to drive places! I like your car:) I have an old, ugly minivan!
Thanks, Ang!
BJ ~ We were supposed to take the RV out to Oregon for Almost Grown's graduation last summer. But at 8 miles to the gallon, almost $4 a gallon gas, and over 3000 miles for the trip, it just wasn't happening!! I will miss it, but have to be practical about how much we'll get to use it.
Buh-Bye, Turd...I will miss hearing about you...
See, there goes my dream that you and Studly would decided to live like Gypsies in your RV and travel the country. Maybe I could have convinced you to visit me here in the frozen north...
Goodbye big steaming turd...... HELLO STEVE :)....
Anyways alls good cos if I had stayed in 'the turd' I would of been inclined to go for midnight drives into town on the proper side of the road :)....
