This past week we said goodbye to our Acura (we sold it ourselves online in less than 6 hours!) and we traded in my Ford Focus that I have had since I was 16 years old. Chris and I have decided to become a one-car family for now. After lots of research and patience, waiting for the right car for the right price, we landed ourselves a 2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid:

I've tried […]

Love it! I've had my hybrid since 2003 (Honda Civic), and have never regretted it. Enjoy!
Welcome to the one-car world! Although yours gets a bit better gas mileage than ours.
It was even more beautiful in real life. :) I was admiring it in the driveway. :)
I've always loved a red car! And Chris really likes the color, too!
LOVE the red!!!!!!!!!!
