FORD EXPLORER 8 YEARS...
FORD AEROSTAR MINIVAN 9 YEARS
R.I.P.
Cars, Weddings, August, and Utah... this strange combination seems to be the bane of our family. Case in point, Shannon & Charlie's wedding August 1999, my parents drove their beautiful silver Jaguar all the way to St. George, before it broke down- causing them to miss Shannon's wedding. August 2009, Kathleen & Daven's wedding, we drove our Ford Explorer all the way to Las Vegas before it broke down! Katy Perry's "Waking up in Vegas" was a big hit that trip! And, yes we missed the wedding; although we got the car fixed in time to drive ALL NIGHT in time for the reception! August 2010 Amanda & Austin's wedding, I took the Explorer in for an oil change and found out it has a leak in the rack and pinion (whatever that means) an internal transmission problem, and a bad power seat. Our mechanic Ron, said "It's time for a new car, tell Scott I said that". We were supposed to leave for Utah yesterday-at least the car broke before the trip! We may make Amanda & Austin's August/Utah wedding (knock on wood).

Like Kelly said, once you get them paid off, it's hard to buy another one. One thing about it, you do get your money out of your cars. You're right about the month of August, cars, & wedding trips to Utah. We will never get over missing Shannon's wedding.
