The hubby and I have been discussing on getting a new car for ourselves. Our van is somewhat old now and come summertime, we are planning to be driving to Las Vegas and back to spend a vacation there and bring Ma and Pa-in-law when we return. BUT, there is no finalization yet on that plan. Our budget is very tight right now and it's so hard to mess around with school tuition, bills, and savings. But in the soon future, we really can see a need for a new or second hand car, especially when I'll start going back to school.As to what car it's going to be, you bet it's not going to be one of those recalled cars echoing all over the world right now. A ford focus is nice, I like the reviews and the specifications that I've read at thecarconnection.com but we'll see what hubby and I will agree on. We're actually comparing car prices these days and which models we really desire. The bigger the better it is for us, since we often have family members joining us whenever we go travel. I think thecarconnection.com is a good site to check out if cars and the likes are what your concerns for now!
