Why would you want a red vehicle?  The insurance cost increases cause of red, black, or white.

Because after careful observation after our first accident, which was caused by a driver not seeing our black car, I determined that red was the most visible color in almost every driving condition. The only ones where color doesn't make much difference is a blizzard "white out" , the equivalent in heavy rain and at night.  All of our cars since that accident have been red. And the two accidents that we had since the first one happened at night. The increased insurance isn't that much and we prefer to be as visible as possible.
Paranoid, much? Yep. People out here drive like they are auditioning for the next "Dukes of Hazzard."

Heh, that's about how it is here.  You could go with that yellow/orange of school buses, or that bright ass yellow of some fire engines for the safety factor though.  Of course, that's an ugly color choice!

Yes it is! That and those "metallic lime green" VWs! ICK!! I think that the insurance rates on a red van wouldn't be too out of line. Now, if it was a Pontiac TransAm or a little red Mustang....

The weather is calm here and should be for a while. We can certainly use a break in the weather department.

We've been lucky.  Nice and clear pretty much since the 1st.  I just wish the weather would figure itself out.  One night it will be warm and the next cold.

I've decided not to bother with a garden this year.  I have too much work to get the property cleaned up before I do that.

I really, really like the new moon icons for new posts/no new posts. It makes it tons easier to tell what is what, and they are pretty too! Grin

Well, we drove past that house again today. The van was still there. It looks fairly new and I think that it is a Town and Country Sport. The price is $500. So now we are wondering why they are selling it so cheap. If it needs some work that won't be a problem. The girls and I have been saving for nearly 3 years and have $3,100 in hand for a vehicle. Skywise is interested so we may see about it soon. I don't think it will be tomorrow. He has the late shift tonight and an early shift tomorrow.
MoonCat wants the computer and I'm going to let her have it. I labored long in the Castle today and I need a break.  Grin

Wow...even then with 3100 saved up; the price of the van is great particularly if you can use that as an investment to fixing up the van? And if it's not that bad off...then you have money still left for savngs!

Well, tomorrow, we have a long day.  We have to be at the courthouse at 0830 to deal with some paperwork, then over to the Law Enforcement Center.  After all that gets done (hopefully relatively quickly), we have to drive two 1/2 hours down to Savannah for a funeral at 1300 (my great-uncle).

Luckily, my boss has given me the day/night off because of the funeral, so that helps a bit.

I need to close this thread cause the server is starting to have issues with it due to it's length.  I will start a new one immediately.

Edit:

I changed what happened!  We now have it set to display 20 posts per page.  At page 50 of the old thread, I split  the thread.  The I spliced the split off section of the thread with the new thread I created.  So, here we are.
