We're a 2 Car Family Again!!!

For those that have been asking (and I suppose those that had no idea), we are officially back to having two cars in the Ligetti household! If you weren't aware, Amber was in an accident last December along I-80, and while thankfully, she was not injured, and the kids were not with her, the Trailblazer did incur some significant damage. Tack that repair onto the repair of Amber's Saturn the week before the accident (maintenance related), and it's been over 2 months (minus a week rental) with only one car!

We handled the first month of one car pretty well, actually getting used to new morning and evening routines to get everyone to school and work. But I have to say the last few weeks has been wearing on us, and the constant call backs of new problems showing up in the repair process wasn't helping. We're just glad we're all OK and that the weather should be getting better in the weeks to come.

Some parting thoughts and suggestions for you. Even though there is no guarantee that by following them, an accident still won't happen, please do consider. We wouldn't ask if you weren't someone we cared about:

1. Drive a little slower today
2. Put down the cell phone when you're in the car
3. If the roads are bad, really think whether or not you need to be out

And finally...for goodness sakes, call your insurance company and make sure you have rental car coverage!!!
