After getting over the news of the goldfish, Olessia told me her truck needed a lot of work. So much work that she was told to go to Isuzu to get the engine fixed before any other work is completed. Her truck has been making an ugly engine ticking sound. On top of this, the truck has about 3 other major issues with it. Figuring that the engine repair would be costly for a V6 engine, we figured a new car was needed.

One thought was to let Olessia use the Teg while I found either a new car or a beater. We went out shopping on Saturday and ran into a ’95 Honda Civic LX 4 door. It had 138k miles on it and I managed to get the dealer down from $4k to $3300 and we went for it.

Its not the ideal time for either of us to do this, but there weren’t any cheaper alternatives.
