My poor little 626 is no longer! a couple of weeks ago i got into a little fender-bender. the damage wasn't too bad and fortunately it wasn't my fault so the other insurance company would cover everything, including a rental. so we took the car to a collision mechanic and they said it will be a couple of thousand and about 4 days. no problem. ya right, is life ever that easy? a few days later i got a phone call from the other insurance, they wanted to total the car. i honestly thought the guy had the wrong person or they had been looking at the wrong car.... there had to be some mix up, it really wasn't that bad! but... after talking to the mechanic and my insurance we discovered that the damage was worse then originally thought. :( the repairs would cost over 70% the value of the car. sad news. so after talking it over we agreed to say goodbye to the car... that was paid off... sigh...
the car shopping begins...
let me begin with, I HATE CAR SHOPPING!!! unfortunately for brandon i didn't do a good job hiding these feelings. plus, last week was the first week of school, and the thought of another car payment makes my stomach turn. let's just say it's been a long week. brandon has been very patient with my orneriness. he's been very good husband, i'm sure this will be a growing experience. ;) so, after a week of car shopping we still don't have a car.... sigh.

Sad times. I loved your little 626. Piece of poo insurance companies. So what did you get out of it? They better have made it worth your while.
I remember that car! Hey Katie! This is Mindy, your old roommate, Mel's sister. She told me to look at your blog. You look so great! And you just got married! I bet he's so great; he'd have to be to catch your special attention.
I sympathize with you about car shopping. We just did about a year ago. What we did is I told Tyler what I was looking for and he went online and made a list of about 40 cars or so that fit (since I HATE shopping for cars too)and I went and chose a few and we started calling on them. We ended up getting a great deal in Bountiful at this tiny hole in the wall I would have refused to go to otherwise. The gems are at the tiny places. And don't worry, the longer you shop the easier to spot a good deal. Also, subscribe to carfax.com.
So happy to find you! Look at my blog mindytylercam.blogspot.com!

I'm so sorry! You should take Corbin car shopping w/ you, he is really good at it, he has an eye for good deals, and knows when he's looking at a piece of junk. I hope everything else is going well for you! We hope to see you guys soon, I love reading your blog! I need to do better on mine.
