We’re now a two-car family. The job I got in September is neither nearby nor near transit so it really forced our hand. (Although it seems like nothing will be near transit in Pittsburgh soon.

We wound up getting a 1991 Honda Accord from one of my wife's co-workers. Her husband wanted to get a newer car and it's nice to help a brother out -- he got a sharp BMW, yow! It's not pristine on the outside and it's got a few miles on it (~130K) but at least I know what it's been through and that they wouldn't screw us. Also, the interior's in great shape. So here's a couple of photos:
