Last week, Richard got in an accident. Bummer! He is fine, but the car not so much. We are glad that he didn't get any injuries and we are glad that it was not his fault!
We are assuming the car will be totaled (it is 12 years old, not in great shape and the airbags came out), it's dead.
We were feeling a little stressed and doing some research on cars trying to decide what we were going to do. (This is our only car, so it was urgent). Richard was telling his dad about the accident when his dad offered to sell us his car for super cheap. He has been wanting to get a Prius, but hadn't taken the plunge yet. This was the perfect opportunity, it benefits everybody. :) We gratefully took him up on the offer. We were heading down to Austin that weekend anyway.
So we got a rental car and drove down there and then drove the rental and his dad's car back home. Hurray for family that is willing and able to help us out when we need it. We really didn't want to put a lot of money into a new car right now (we just updated our kitchen!) so it was the perfect solution!
