Josh was thinking of ways that we could get out of debt and have a car with hardly any miles on it. Well with the old dream car, the laser red, fully loaded Infiniti FX 45 (sigh) we were approaching 99,000 miles with three more years of huge payments and three more years of putting an annual 35,000 miles extra. We bought it right before the oil prices hiked and suv and gas guzzlers values plummeted… we were upside down like crazy. So a few nights ago Josh just said that we had to get rid of it, trying to be a grown up I agreed that this was a good idea. So we thought about an economical car that would meet all of our needs: good gas mileage, room for the dogs, and not a grandma car. The solution was the Nissan Cube. When I called Magen to tell her that we bought it she said, “NOOOOOO! That is the ugliest car ever made!”, I’d have to agree, but it’s so ugly that it’s cute! So here is our new car. We’ve had it for 3 days and have already put 260 miles on it. Yikes.
The Nissan Cube gets 28 mpg in town and 30 on the highway! Hip, Hip… Hooray!
