Max and the Car
Last weekend, we decided to get a car for Max. A part of it was convenience for us. Max is getting busier with working and expanding his social life, and it's difficult for my car to be gone so much. And a part of it is that he's shown himself as motivated and responsible. He has to pay his share of the insurance and make half the car payments.
Last Friday, Darwin wasn't working, so he took Max car shopping. After some wrangling, they settled on a 2003 Ford Escape XLT that had only 75,000 miles on it. Darwin, a hard bargainer, got the dealer to knock $1,000 off the price. We did a lot of fast-paced paperwork at the credit union, and Saturday we picked up the car.
Unfortunately, Max was at his mother's that weekend. (He drives--drove--my car down there, which is one of the many reasons we wanted another car.) When we told him we had it Escape, he persuaded Kala to bring him back up so he could get it:
He's very pleased.
