Chris' Car

 


Chris has been looking for a car for a while... Heidi turns 16 in a month and he knew they couldn't share the Subaru. He knew for the most part, he wanted to get a used car in the best quality as possible since he would be putting miles on it for work. We have a car allowance through his work and Chris worked out the budget for the best-case scenario. He found through research that BMWs depreciate immediately but then hold on to their value. Long story short - he found the car he wanted (X3) Smaller than mine, but bigger than a small SUV - still two rows - and the engine he wanted (M40I) which was the tough part. We could find plenty of X3s for sale, but the cooler "fun" engine ones did not last long. 

He found it in Pittsburgh - we went up last weekend to get the deal done and then we picked it up this weekend. It is a 2022 with 25K or less miles with all the bells and whistles you want. I honestly can't believe how in good condition this car is. Chris says it is fun to drive and I'm just happy it fits in the garage perfectly. 

I'm also happy we can stop watching so many car videos. Ha. 



Random - Lucy got a hair cut too! Nothing too dramatic - just about 3 inches off to clean it up for summer. 



Lucy came with us this time and was our photographer...



We have our very last tournament this weekend and just general school and activities this week!
