Vroom Vroom
Eric and I bought a new car. Not just a new car for us either, an actual new car, sortof expensive too. Well, expensive for us. It's a 2006 Toyota Corolla (silver) and we didn't have close to enough money to afford it, but hey, what's another loan when we'll already have over 100 thousand between the two of us after undergrad? Besides, it's pretty much worth it since it will last quite awhile, it gets great gas mileage, it has air conditioning, and it's basically just all around a great deal for our money, a good quality car. Basically, we needed a car at the end of the summer anyway, since Eric's old car will not last very long and we don't want to worry about it breaking down at a crappy time, we knew we were going to buy a car sometime soon anyway, although we were originally thinking a used car. Instead, we decided since we'd need to take a loan out on it anyway, it was worth it to upgrade to an even better one that we won't have to worry about in a couple of years either. It's pretty nice, going to take some getting used to but we're both happy about our purchase, which is what matters most.

gina-yeah, sorry i yelled at you. we're actually taking out an extra school loan next year to pay off the car loan, because it's simpler and easier to do that instead of having the car loan to worry about too. and we're enjoying it so far.
emily-no, it's not a stick. i don't know how to drive those! it's a pretty good car so far.

Sure, the factory was in Ohio, but the money all went back to some other country. But I'll name the Tucker as an American car.
And you should have purchased a hybrid, as long as you were going w/ a new vehicle. I'd say you're not living your Christian duty to protect the environment because you bought a non-environmentally friendly car. For shame. Jesus is crying.

There is a difference between new car money and hybrid money... we could do one, not the other. And our car gets excellent gas mileage anyway so I am not too concerned about what I am doing, maybe you should bark at someone who drives a gas guzzling SUV or truck.
Also, as a point of interest, ford share holders along with gm share holders are mainly made up of individuals with residencies outside of the US.

oh and you cant use a car that is no longer in production.

Still, the Tucker rocks.
Second, you were taking out loans anyways, why not take out an extra couple K for the hybrid. Seriously. And now Jesus has gotten over his crying, and he's angry. Very very angry.
