"Mine" is a deep red '98 Ford Taurus (beautiful! I love it!) and "his" is a..don't laugh....BRIGHT red '90 VW Fox. Hubby uses a car only minimally (he bikes to work, etc.) so for a second, "runner" type car, it will work out just fine.
Both cars are in great shape, body-wise, and interiors, and appear to be mechanically sound. So I think we did the right thing.
