Welllllll... my car's brakes went out this week. Awesome. A pretty scary feeling when you are on the road! We took it in today to get an estimate on repairs, and now we sit trying to weigh the cost of getting the repairs or getting a new car. We already thought about getting a new car in the near future, but we were too busy focusing on moving and starting med school first. This could not have happened at a worse time. We start moving in two weeks, both our parents are moving before us, we work at completely different times (day shift, night shift, and weekends). So all of our spare time is taken up by moving, helping parents move, and dinner dates with friends here and there. It doesn't leave us much time to research cars together and test drive a few. However, because we work at different times, we would be able to get down to one car and make it work. Here's how: hubby takes me to work at 730, we switch at lunch and I take him to work, and I pick him up from work at midnight - Exhausted yet? Car buying would be a new process for us and we would definitely want to take our time and ask lots of questions. Those who know me, know I hate making rash decisions. But now we are thinking it might be better to buy a car now due to the fact we both have jobs and both have proof of income. We learned our lesson on previous blogs. Med school loans are not a proof of income and I am in currently in the job search. So waiting it out and taking our time might not be the most logical decision.
This was on our list of things to do - it is just happening sooner than we thought. God just keeps throwing curve balls at us and we are trying to keep up. Stay tuned for what happens next....
