New Car!!! (Trouble!)

Well, so we finally did it. After being teased that it looked like we were getting out of a clown car every time the 5 of us went somewhere - we bought a new vehicle. A 2007 GMC Yukon. JD had bought our Altima NEW in 2001 & ever since said he'd never buy a Brand New car again because they loose their value as soo as you drive them off the lot, so we went used.

On July 25th we drove to OKC & traded our "Clown Car" the seated 5 in on a "Monster" that seats 9. Our new Dark Blue beauty had some hail damage from the storm that went through OKC the week earlier & the dealership was fixing it(for free of course) we just had to bring it back the next week.

We took it back to get the hail fixed & they gave us a loaner Chevy Truck. Tight fit - not comfy at all! Really was a pain in the tush - really it was - my hip hurt all week!!
They were supposed to have the hail fixed in two days, but it took a week which meant we had to drive this thing close to the OK/TX boarder because Dylan & Ryan were going to go spend a few days with Gamma & Gampa before Dylan started back to school - luckily my mom was able to meet us there because we didn't want to take it out of the state.

Finally the day came for us to go back to pick it up & guess what happened?? It started storming!! We worried all the way there that it was going to end up getting hailed on again before we ever got it back home. We were lucky though, we seem to be in the eye of the storm or something because it stayed clear right over us all the way home & started raining literally right after we pulled into the garage.

Well today it broke down! JD was headed off to work after lunch & the check engine light came on, the thing went into safe mode & would only drive 10 MPH. He got it back home & we had to have it towed!

Wow what a interesting 2 months it's been! Needless to say J.D. says we'll never buy used again, the extra money is worth the peace of mind....
