Crazy Week

We added a new addition to our family this week. And no it's not another dog! LOL Jeremiah finally got his Prius and its a beauty. It was kind of weird how I just felt like after thinking about it on Sunday that on Monday I felt compelled to do the leg work to get Mi his Prius. And by Monday night after 9pm he was driving it home! We didn't really anticipate it going so well and not intending to do it so quickly. But when everything falls into place it's definitely for a reason. And considering that last night on his commute home from Ames was nearly deadly! He had a man dart out in front of him when he's going 70mph on the highway, but by swerving and braking, he narrowly avoided a potentially fatal accident. He's positive in the RAV 4 he wouldn't have been able to have that outcome either. The safety features and quick response time of the Prius being able to corner so quickly at a high rate of speed attests to it's safety rating and quality of it's design. Above is a picture of his new and very first brand new baby :)A view from the drivers seat.
And the interior of the cabin. Chase thought the back seat was quite comfortable but I'm positive that my Sonata is more comfortable all around for me at least. The MPG's at 51 though has mine beat at 32mpg on a good day. The other reason this all happened I think is because Shawn was in an accident 1-1/2 weeks ago with his very recently bought vehicle. Some idiot that works for Jensen ford was taking back a customers vehicle and decided to pull out right in front of him and he's been without a car ever since! They've finally accepted fault 2 days ago but not without my micromanaging them to get processing the claim. We're still waiting on the adjuster to come out and look at to let us know the damage, etc. I am not impressed with the response time of Nationwide at the moment. Anyhoo they agreed on a rental for him but then the only rental place in town didn't have any cars for him but would maybe have them in a couple days. In the meantime it was going to storm and I just decided it made more sense to let him drive the RAV temporarily rather then have the hassle of dealing with rental cars, leaving work to go set it up being the owner of the car til it's paid off, and worrying about the comp/collision fee my agent suggested we get so if anything happened it wouldn't come off our $500 deductible! Here's an after picture of Shawn's car.
We're hoping we can find something for a good price that will replace this car for him and none of us will continue to have bad drivers stalk us and our beloved cars! With privilege comes great responsibility though so one day at a time we'll keep trying to move forward and keep an eye out for danger! I hope everyone else's week has been waaaay less crazy then ours :)
