I have Wheels!

Well, technically I was never without, as I did have the camper van to drive around. But a 5 ton van conversion that gets 16 miles to the gallon is not the best choice to make the occasional around town drive in.

I now have a 94 Saturn, the ex-[livejournal.com profile] martes car. 160,000 miles and various minor mechanical problems, but a lot better than nothing. And tomorrow I start a daily 80 mile round trip commute. A commute that would have been $10+ a day in the van - and it would have been at 55 MPH the whole way. Now it will be about $3 a day and at 70. Much better.
