Poor Peanut!
Yes, we named our car after one of Jeff Dunham's puppets...
We knew its time was almost up, so we started car-shopping a few weeks ago with the intent of buying a new one as soon as we got our tax refund (which should be sometime this week, before the 31st). We just didn't know its end would fall on last night! We even skipped a trip to Costco in Wenatchee in hopes of saving up its juice for a day of car shopping, but clearly, not even that had helped.
Spacious, decent-looking and smelled like a car should, it did its job well for the price we paid for it (approx $1800).
So, what now? Tim will have to carpool with someone else to and from work for the rest of the week, just like he did last night after trying to start the car and coming to the conclusion that it wasn't going to start for us ever again. We'll probably call the bishop to ask if anyone has a car they'd be willing to let us borrow on Friday so we could drive to the bank, withdraw cash for a new car and come home with another vehicle.
Perhaps we can call the next one...Walter. Jalapeno on a Stick?
You know, the car I now have is the first of all my cars to not have a name. My first was Percival, then there was Humphrey which we left in Utah when we moved to Spokane because of his leaking radiator, then Cammie (whom Allen totaled) a few months after we got her. I just never found the perfect name for this one. Good luck finding your next automobile! See you tonight.
