We bought a car!

Almost.

We have a deposit on this 2008 Pontiac Vibe. Had to wait for banks and paperwork, so we'll probably drive it home Monday evening. It looks like a great car. Only 24k miles from its previous life as a rental car. I love the Vibe design (which is made in the same factory and from the same mold as the Toyota Matrix. Pontiac just put their own flare on it). It's a small wagon, meaning the hatchback trunk opens to a large (beagle-appropriate) area. The back seats fold down completely so we can transport large things. The roof even has railings for a rack. It gets good mileage (about 24 city, 33 hwy) so it will serve Ben well as his commuting car. But it will be our primary vehicle, so we can stop taking my creaking sentra everywhere!
