Our new island car

We finally bought a second car since Tommy started working so that we can both get to work. Very exciting--we found a used 1990 Mazda Miata in Kailua that was very inexpensive! We looked at about 10 other cars before deciding on the Miata. Some of these included a 1987 Chevy Nova, a 1999 Saturn wagon with a salvaged mis-matched door on which none of the locks worked so you were forced to crawl through the hatch back each time, a 1995 Accord that vomited oil all over the place when we test-drove it, and a VW Cabriolet with significant body damage. Obviously, when we found the Miata in the same price range we were thrilled.

Unfortunately, we have to tow it to a mechanic tomorrow because it began smoking and having alternator belt problems the night before Thanksgiving. We hope that it won't be too expensive to fix....
