The Cars!!

After what felt like HUNDREDS of hours of debate (and twice as many spreadsheets) we've decided on these beauties!

Almost matching His and Hers 2010 Toyota Prius'. I'm getting this beautiful blue with the sunroof, solar panels and NAV system. Kyle's getting the EXACT (copy cat) same car in silver.

It's not like us to get new cars but it just makes financial sense. We can get used (2G) Prius' with 50K miles on them, worse gas mileage (that's right, the new Prius' get 52 mpg), and old body style for $20,000 plus sales tax or for an extra $5,000 we get the exact car (in the exact color) we want, all the features, and no miles, AND get a tax credit for the sales tax (Thanks Obama, at least you got that right).

Now the tricky part is actually getting them. We ordered them over a month ago - Of course I picked out the hardest car to get - so it will take 4-6 months for delivery... HOPEFULLY, we can get them shortly after we get home. But, probably not.

I'm just letting Kyle play with what he wants to do about that. Some days he wants to buy a cheapy beater to drive for a couple months then sell when our new cars come in. Some days he wants to rent a car for 4 months. Some days he wants to walk to work. Some days he wants to teleport. And my all time personal favorite is to get the 'roadable aircraft' that we invested in a few years back (that's an altogether different story) that isn't on the market yet...I've learned when he does this to just let him figure it out himself. If he wants my opinion, he'll ask. (He's going to do what he wants to do anyway, no reason to get involved :) )
