Hello, Walter!

We considered Achmed after AJ reminded us of another favorite Dunham puppet, but we thought our new car looked more like a Walter.
The night before we bought it, we put our old car on Craigslist where someone here in Quincy (who practically lives down the street) bought it for $800. So the next day we borrowed a friend's car and went to Moses Lake to look at the Durango (also found on Craigslist), which was being offered for $4000; but after driving it and realizing we'd have to buy new tires and get some front-end work done, Tim looked the owner sternly in the face and asked how low he'd be willing to sell the car. So we bought it for $3200 and then took it to Les Schwab and spent another $1100 on tires and repairs.

We're now equipped to handle any future white winters!
