It died.

Out with the old:

In with the new:

Yesterday our van died... so we bought a new one. So... it both sucks to be us and it is good to be us both at the same time. We owned our last van outright... so it was old, but it was ours... this new (used) van is very nice and VERY classy, but we don't own it... we have payments.

So... Mixed feelings.

Disclaimer: Neither of the above vehicles are ours. Like the eagle picture, this serves as only a representative of the van we used to have verses the van we just purchaced yesterday... Our old van was a piece of crap and looked much older than the van represented in the first picture. AND I have no idea where that hill is in the picture of the new van.
