Cars from the Past!!


On Valentine's Day, Bryce not only got a present from me, but Alpine (his work) also surprised him with a work truck. Bryce was really excited and appreciative. It's a little Nissan two door truck and it is perfect. We decided that when he got a work truck, that we would sell our Toyota 4-runner. So, we decided to list it on KSL cars, which is a Salt Lake City website where you can sell your vehicles for free. Anyway, little did we know that our 4-runner would be sold in just 2 days. It was kind of sad, because it is a good vehicle and we have taken many fun trips in the car. We have gone four wheeling to Moab twice and both times we did the trails in our 4-runner. Many people thought we were crazy, but the Toyota was awesome and Bryce is a really good driver also. We also have been camping many times with our trailer in tow behind our trusty Toyota. Needless to say, it has been a good, fun vehicle. We are saving alot on gas and insurance though so it has been nice. And the best part is, we came out ahead after we paid off our loan. You can't beat that! Now, we have a nice down payment when we decide to buy another car.

When we sold our car, it made me think about all the cars that we have owned since we got married 7 years ago. We had a Honda Accord, Honda CRV, Honda Accord, Toyota 4-runner, Toyota pickup truck, Hyundai Elantra and our Toyota Landcruiser. I guess you could say that we like foreign made vehicles. Or better yet, we like having dependable vehicles that maintain their value.
