Since we won’t be getting a Maserati, what should we get?

This is not going to be the Kenner Family's next car.

Well, dang.

The Toyota is starting to wear down. We thought this week that it was all over, and we were going to be whining at the door of the Smart Car dealership (the kids could run along after the car–good exercise, and those things only have two seats!). But then we went car shopping and gasped at the prices and begged our mechanic to get her running again for just a little while longer.

I think it’s gonna chug along for another six months or so.

(So, sidenote for the season, I’m thankful to have two functioning–more or less–cars).

But the inevitable is pressing down on us like some heavy, unpleasant pressing down thing. Yes, soon we are going to have to suck it up and buy a new car.

What should we get?

I can’t stomach paying a ton for a car (unless it happens to be a Maserati. Or a Jag — I’d be okay with a Jag). And it needs to get good gas mileage because we drive the heck out of our cars.

We’re thinking a Honda Fit.

Or a Mini-Cooper (I really do covet the Minis).

Any advice? Horror stories? Words of warning?

Have a great Thanksgiving tomorrow! And to everyone who is traveling, be safe!
