money
Comments Off I lost my job of 2 years last month, forcing me to hold off on any trips for the time being. My new job started this last week, so hopefully I’ll be back up and running by May. The weather has also sucked since the middle of February, so that also puts a bit of a damper on things. As the weather gets better and as summer gets closer I will definitely be driving more again! I can’t wait.
I have owned my wagon since December (28th, I believe) of 2008. Since that time I have driven over 40,000 miles, mostly within Washington state (or just into Oregon or BC). About half of that has been commuting to work. Thankfully the new job is a bit closer, and I will likely be riding the bus and/or working from home more often, so the car won’t be seeing as much wear and tear as time goes on. My manufacturer warranty expired when the car passed 36,000 miles (that happened about 13 months after buying the car). I’m now on an extended warranty which appears to be very good, but I hope I never have to use it.
Anyway, I do have a few things planned for this summer, including a drive to the Spokane area for a big car cruise in the first part of May, and a group drive to Las Vegas in June for a car show there.
In the mean time, here’s one photo I took in February while driving around the Snohomish River Valley:
