Isn't It Cute?

Look what we got for Eric! Isn't it cute?

It's a 2008 Hyundai Accent and it gets 33 miles/gallon! Nice huh? For his new job with Sierra Health he's going to be driving all over town to all of the Station casinos to work with their employees on their benefit enrollments, etc. He has a car allowance but we still wanted to be as economical as possible. Plus this is fun for him - Eric has always driven the "beater" car in our marriage so it makes me happy that he's driving something that isn't being held together with band-aids! Interestingly, when we were buying it, the guys at the dealership said that the majority of their trade-ins lately have been big SUV's. Guess the hideous gas prices are actually making people start to think that less-is-more. Yay for Eric!
