We Bought a Car!!

My mother came to visit last weekend and told us that she thought it would be for the best if Peter and I utilized the CARS Program to buy a new car. Our sole car was ten years old and had 160K miles on it. Nothing was actually wrong with it but from time to time we’d hear mysterious clunking sounds that alluded to the fact that the car would not last forever. No one would ever offer us $4500 for the car again so–we bought a car! I can’t believe it! This is my first genuinely new car. The entire process took over six hours! We were lucky enough to get right in with someone in the dealership but the paperwork was insane. I guess that’s what happens when you do anything with the government.

We opted for a 2009 Honda Fit Sport. They got amazing safety ratings, great gas mileage, and everyone loved them in the consumer reports. So far the car is great. We loved our salesperson (after dealing with a million shady dealers at every other dealership–other Honda dealerships included.) I can’t believe what great visibility it has in comparison to Peter’s old Camry. Here is a picture of our new darling sitting in our garage. Take note of all of the gigantic windows! Fit is go!
