The insurance decided to total the car. Not a surprise given the car's age, but still a let-down. But yesterday, we went to check out a nearby Honda dealership, and ... ended up driving off with a car. Neither of us is quite sure how that happened, but good, I guess. It's a 2000 Toyota Corola. It's a nice car, and in good shape, and the money was decent. There just aren't a lot of good used cars around right now. The downsides are that we have to stick a cushion on the back of the seats to make them comfortable, and it's an automatic. But manual transmissions are sadly rare :(.

This means car payments and may mean tightening things up for a while, but it'll more than get us through until we can afford to replace my car. Actually, what'll probably end up happening is that mom'll get another car and I'll buy the Corola from her. Either way, it's a ways down the road.
