Main St. Agraduate's critical decision point It wasn't our fault that a drunk- en driver plowed into our parked car in the middle of the night while we were on vacation more than 500 miles from home. No one was hurt; it could have been worse. Our loss was insured, and we got just enough money to pay off the loan. We needed to replace that car anyway. To buy a new car would have required borrowing the down pay- ment and taking on bigger month- ly payments. We could have financed a used car with lower payments, but that was beneath what we thought we deserved. Another option was to lease a new car with nothing down and end up with lower payments than we'd been making. At this critical decision point in our lives, my husband and I blew it. We made the worst choice pos- sible: to lease a new car. It was a decision that turned into a finan- cial nightmare. Our first leased car lost its value terribly, so we owed a lot when the lease was up. Again, we had no available cash, so rolling the shortfall into another lease was easy. We repeated this many times and even upped the ante by leasing two new cars at a time. It became nearly impossible to break this Police reports The following informa- tion is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Department and Cal- ifornia Highway Patrol.

Gore had reportedly been driving in the passing lane when a second driver in a Toyota Rav 4 passed him in the slow lane and cut in front, sending Gore swerving. Both complained of neck pain, with Gore reportedly suffering from additional pain in his head and Snyder of pain in the shoulder. Both declined medical attention. The vehicle sustained major damage to the entire right side. • Cole Miller, Redding, 18, reportedly rear-ended Daniel Peters, Cottonwood, 50, Thursday afternoon on northbound Interstate 5, north of Sunset Hills Drive.

Looking back, it's easy to see the error of our ways. However, I believe that even in my financially stu- pid years, if I'd taken five min- utes to visualize the choice we were about to make in light of the future, I would have at least hesitated. I want to believe we would have made a different choice.
