I bought a new car today. I have not driven in 5 months because of my poor previous car's broken transmission -- I've been riding my bicycle everywhere -- and I'm so happy I can hardly contain myself. I love cars that look like little faces, and this little face looks like freedom from the same three square miles I've been riding around in.



It's totally jolie-laide! Only mine's in burgundy, a color that seems to not exist beyond my car. I'll put real pictures up later.

It's lovely, curvy, and full of life. Although it didn't cost as much as some, don't dare call it cheap.

Oh, you can call it whatever you like. My tree-hugger ass will love it just as much as ever!

Wow! I just bought a new car too--and they look so similar--mine's the red Vibe!

Ooooh, I like those too! But Toyota's warranty was so kick-ass I went with it.

I liked the cargo room on the Vibe (pretty much like the Matrix)... and the $2500 rebate helped. But it also seems to have everything covered for 80,000 km (something like 7 years) and On-Star free for a year--at least in Canada.

Cute. Before I got my Del Sol, I wanted one of those.

Also, burgundy is totally an underrated color.

I think the color is called "Tuscan Sunrise" or something. It's exactly the color my hair was back in high school!

I just wrote out the biggest check of my fucking life. It was exhilarating and terrifying all at once. And then the dude asked me out and I know exactly why.

LOL. I'd ask you out, too. I was scared shitless when I bought my car. I had never paid that much for anything before.

And from the East Coast, I say to you... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY LOVE!

Well, the cool thing about that is that we get to pick. I'd say "Yares."

The best (early) birthday presents are the ones you buy y'self, right?

Congratulations! I've been worried about Chrysler going out of business because I'm going to have to replace my Aerostar one of these days, and I have five dogs who want to go whenever I go someplace. (Chrysler makes a minivan.)

Yeah Darlene and I tried to buy a new car last September. We had $5000 down and a 700 credit score, and they wouldn't write us a car note. Apparently the Masters of the Universe on Wall Street had blown a four trillion dollar hole in the economy and there was some kind of 'credit crunch' or something.

Anyway we wound up leasing,because no way were we enduring another 14 hours of stop and go driving next hurricaine season in a 17 year old car with no air. Now we have a very nice 2008 Honda Crv and some not so nice $260 a month lease payments, and I've found out that, along with health insurance, car insurance in this country is really fucking expensive. But I have a brand new car, something my father never had in his whole life.

I have seen you around on various communities, most recently on [info]naturalliving. You seem intelligent and interesting. Mind if I add you?

Not at all, please do!! I will do the same (actually I think I might already have done so a few months back, I've always liked your posts.)
