My New Ride

Happy New Car day to me! Yes, I know it's little and sporty and you are probably thinking I'm in the midst of a real midlife crisis. Perhaps that's true but there is a logical reason I went small. Money, or lack of it. LOL. Gas prices were killing me in the old suburban. Originally we planned to trade the old ride in on a small SUV but after shopping around we decided against it. We kept the old one for a backup and for hauling crap and moving kids around. We've put so much money into it in repairs that it still runs great but just isn't looking too hot anymore. It gets to stay with us and go into semi retirement for at least awhile. We opted for this

little baby because I've got another one ready to start learning to drive and it's a good starter type car to learn in. Now David didn't expect me to go this sporty. The one he'd picked out for me to test drive was a 4 door...not cute at all. All i need most of the time now is two doors. Brooke will be leaving in just over a month and then it will just be me and Chelsea. When we need luxury we've always got David's car. Big plus is that Chelsea thinks it's cool.... who knows, she could end up with it in a year if I decide I've got to have something bigger.
