New Car!

Posted by Scott on Friday, April 9, 2004 at 12:37 pm.

I knew I forgot something last night! Annie and I are getting a car! It’s a complicated story, but what it boils down to is that Annie’s grandmother bought a Subaru in the 90s, and it got in a wreck, and due to complications, she just bought a new car, and this Subaru isn’t being used by anyone. So Annie’s parents have agreed to split the cost of buying it with us, so we’re getting a 1990 (or 93) Subaru Legacy for around $1000.

We couldn’t be more excited, since this is perfect timing. We knew we were going to have to buy a car soon, since we’re moving north, and also Annie is starting to nanny soon, and the nanny agency requires that you have a car available.

I’ve been trying to look up photos, but these may or may not be representative of the car, since we aren’t sure what year or model it is - it’s either a 1990 or a 1993, and it’s either an Outback or a Legacy. If I’m reading these sites right, though, Subaru didn’t make the Outback in the early 90s, it’s probably a Legacy, and there’s not a huge difference in body styles between the 90 and the 93.

So go ahead and check these photos out - ours is in green.

Oh, and before anyone asks - Yes, I’ll be getting my license soon, now that I’ll have a car readily available to practice in.

    So, does that mean that Ryan and Molli can learn to drive in this car? They both want to get their licenses too … [vbg]

    They’ll have to ask Annie nicely… it’s her car. I’m married, so I don’t have to ask nicely. ;)

    If you believe that, you obviously haven’t been married long enough to figure out how the universe really works … [vbg]

    I have to agree with Dad . . . saying that is tantamount to Frank Barone (the grandfather on “Everybody Loves Raymond”) telling his wife that he doesn’t have to tell her how good her food is (that she spent all day cooking), because that’s her job.

    Now that you’re married, you have to twice as polite.

    Otherwise, you and Annie will never have kids.
