Random & Vehicle

Some pictures my younger siblings mailed to me, displayed on our fridge in NY.

We used to have TONS of fun hosting our friends from Ontario for the weekend

Brian bought this car from someone in Fairport in May of 2003, when the car he bought from his sister Lauren, a very old Corolla, died. On April 24, 2004, we got into an accident on the way home from work. We only had one vehicle. It was a not at fault accident - we hit a snowplow truck, but it was his fault:-) In any case, the car was totaled. I we both really loved that car.

toyota celica. I always wanted one, and then I had one, and then it was gone!



We paid $2000 for this Jetta, private sale. Biggest mistake ever. We owned it for 2 weeks, and it broke down every single day we had it. We gave it away to a young kid we knew who was going to try and fix it.
So, we bought this 2000 Honda Accord - our very first car loan! It cost $10,000, but we had used most of our money for the other car, so we got a loan for the balance. We bought this one from a dealership, Adrenaline Autohaus. They sold very pricey Porsches etc, and this car was traded in, and not something they wanted on their lot. So we really got an excellent deal, it was worth more than we paid for it. This car NEVER broke down one single time, from the day we bought it, to the day we sold it in 2012. We adored this car.

Easter 2004

I can't remember the exact date of Easter in 2004, but Brian's family came up from Albany to celebrate with us!
