The Car Saga

In November 2009, D and I made our first major purchase of our marriage and bought a used 2009 Toyota Corolla. 

We named her Charlotte.
Chuck, for short.

Then, in June 2010 we drove to Oregon for my sister's high school graduation.  We hit a 5-point buck outside of Shasta and got the front right side of our car smashed in.
Our insurance wouldn't cover getting it fixed.
But, there was no structural damage - only cosmetic.
So I kept driving my car.

After driving my car around for 2.5 years, we finally had saved enough money to get my car fixed.

We dropped my car off last Monday - the shop said it would take 9 business days.
Since D is out of work, we planned to just share his car until mine was done.
Doable, right?

Unfortunately, his car is a stick shift and I don't drive stick.

So this last week, I have felt like a teenager.
D has had to drive me around everywhere.
Target, the bank, the grocery store, Costco, everywhere.

I can't wait to get my freaking car back.
