A NEW CAR!!!

Since I recently paid off my student loans, my life felt empty without any debt. So I thought, why not buy a new car??? Ok, really my car was starting to show signs of age & according to consumer reports was not going to last much longer. It needed about $1300 in work done which seemed like a lot. I thought that while I had some money and my car was at a higher trade-in value that I should get a new car that would last forever. Well after doing some hefty research to make sure the salesman couldn't screw over the "dumb girl," I was off to the lots to test drive.

The first stop was the Honda dealership. I was trying to go cheaper and possibly Hybrid so I test drove a Honda Civic. I did not like the Civic AT ALL. However, it apparently does go faster than I thought as I got PULLED OVER for speeding on the TEST DRIVE. Thankfully I did not get a ticket, although Nicole & I thought for sure I had one coming as the cop was not very nice. He did have mercy on me though!

After that I drove an Accord, Camry, RV-4, Prius, Sonata (on different days), but I was most in love with the Accord the whole time. So I haggled away with the Toyota & Honda dealers in hopes of getting a good deal between the 2. I liked the Camry, but felt I was too young to drive a Camry. I need 4 kids to drive a Camry, but not a sporty Accord. I felt I actually got a good deal and I didn't pay any "extra" fees they make you think are nonnegotiable, but I negotiated my way right out of them. Good thing I did my homework & now I have a new car!

Here is a picture of me with my sexy (and long lasting) new car. It is a 2008 Honda Accord with only one owner (ME!).
