Jeff's new wheels

Well, we have just become a two vehicle family. We stuck it out as long as we could but decided that this was the best option for us. Since we arrived back from the States in August, we have been sharing the car during the week. It has worked out for the most part. Jeff drove into school with the car on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I would use the car on Wednesdays and Fridays. Then there were those times when this arrangement didn't work. Then, Jeff would rush home in between classes for me and Sarah to be ready to jump into the car so he could rush back and make his next class so we could use the car. That made me the pick up person for the rest of the day. We knew that we couldn't afford a second car here in Germany. The insurance alone is double for your second car then there is the price of gas. So we went with the "missionary vehicle". This gets Jeff from point A to Point B. In his maiden voyage this morning, I saw him drive away in a down pour!

Here is Jeff leaving the lot just after he bought his new wheels.


We are happy that this bad boy is still insured through March and has a one year warrenty on it just incase Jeff gets a little to crazy with his driving. In Germany, you can operate this if you have a regular drivers license. These are very popular with young people. Jeff's top speed is 45km/h.
