New Car!

Derek got a new (to us) car as the Subaru we got when VV was on the way is on its last legs. He specifically wanted an EV, and after a week of test driving, he chose a 2021 Kia Niro. It was about $45K all in, and on day nine of ownership, he hit a deer. Fortunately it still operates fine, but it's not as pretty as it was last week.

She's headed to the body shop next week to get all pretty again, but it's such the story of our lives - get ahead a bit, and then WHAM.

Poor deer. Poor you! My Prius is ten years old, and I would love a fully EV, but $45 is a lot of dough (for me) and the place I live has only one charging station, and I think it's solely for the person in that garage stall. I wish they would retrofit the joint so all of us could charge up.

I'm sorry that happened to you. How are you otherwise? VV must be about ten now?

Oof, bummer. Hitting a deer is a thing here, too, and it can total a car. Glad everyone is okay and it's fixable!
