remember how I drive a mercedes benz?

Brian and I are shopping for a new car. Turns out our rear wheel drive luxury sedan isn't proving to be the best choice for a family of two who live on a snow covered alley way. The best part about shopping for a new car is obviously the shopping part. Shopping is fun! Brian will tell you that he doesn't love to shop, but that is a complete lie! By day he drives State St. in Orem looking at sticker prices, and by night he surfs Craig's List, Auto Trader, EBay...the list goes on.

Something Brian also loves are sturdy, affordable, American built cars that have things like "great resale value", and "amazing gas mileage." I am not as successful at being so level headed. After a long discussion where Brian explained to me all of the perks of buying a Chevy Malibu I explained to Brian that when I hear "Malibu" my mind immediately goes to individuals like: undercover cops and general authorities. Brian pulled out You Tube and sure proved me wrong: This does not scream reliable.

So when you see my cruising the around the corner in a sleek, affordable sedan and think, "Oh those Williams... so predictable!" Don't be confused by the Malibu. I will in reality have a brusky in one hand and a babe in the other.

So some of us already drive those "good resale" and "great gas mileage" kind of cars my friend.
Way to be practical BRIAN. And yes, it is true all of the Williams boys LOVE to shop! Steve gets so ticked off if someone else gets a better deal than him. SO FUNNY!

Um you and Brian Todd are my favorites in the world. I actually love the Malibu, and am slightly jealous. Just think you can drive like the AP for the rest of your life now. How fitting!
