T-Bone the Toyota 4-Runner

On Saturday, November 14, Travis and I went out to look for a new car. Old Avie (the Avalon) has seen better days and is acting a little too tired to get me through another Colorado winter. Travis did a great job researching and we had decided that a 4 wheel drive Toyota 4Runner was the best choice for us, our dog, and our hobbies. There were a few we had found online that looked like great cars for us, and we went to see our favorite first. Of course when we saw it and test drove it we were ready to buy it. Travis had given me a pep talk on the way to the dealership so I knew not to show that I liked it at all. I only pointed out the negatives. We went inside to talk money, which I left to Travis. Bargaining was so not a fun process, but Travis did a great job in talking the guy down! I'm glad it wasn't me; I would have been sweet talked into spending more. After a full day of bargaining, waiting, and signing, we drove off the lot with our 2006 4Runner! We initiated it the next day by taking our friends skiing with us to Copper Mountain (picture shown). It has since been appropriately named "T-Bone".
