Car Shopping

The time has finally come for us to expand into a second car. I'm tired of my knees rubbing on the glove box because Lydia's car seat is way too huge for the back seat.
We went car shopping over the weekend. Here are the things I got excited about:

1. Leg Room!! (and my legs aren't really even that long)
2. Working dome lights
3. Reliable Air Conditioning
4. A trunk that doesn't smell like rotten potatoes
5. Windshield wipers that spray stuff AND wipe the windows clean
6. Antenna so the "seek" button works on the radio
7. Brakes that don't grind and squeal
8. Forget keyless entry, I just want a car that the keys actually open the driver side door


Ah, the joys of a 15 year old car.
