P365 - 2016 - Day 50 - Love it!!
We have been considering getting rid of my Mazda for a while now... we kept talking about it. It wasn't the most gas efficient, I didn't really need a big car much anymore, and we were hoping to lower our car payments. The problem was we couldn't find any time to get to the dealer...either My Wonderful Husband was at work, I was at work, or we were at basketball or soccer games. My Wonderful Husband had cancelled his conference trip to New Orleans this week which meant he was home today when he wasn't supposed to be and I wasn't working. When we realized we had some free time, we headed over to the Hyundai dealer with the thought of just test driving the Elantra. I am a creature of habit so even though we were planning to get a new car, I wasn't completely ready to let go of my Mazda. I tend to have irrational attachments to inanimate objects, so I usually have to warm up to an idea as big as getting rid of my car. Years ago when I was pregnant with The Bear and The Princess we intended on trading in my purple Cavalier for a minivan (much to my disappointment at needing a minivan). But when the time came to work up the trade, in my very pregnant and emotional state I cried and asked My Wonderful Husband to trade in his car instead. His practically brand new Kia. My reasoning was sound on that however... the Kia was a stick and I had no intention of learning to drive a stick and I thought I should be able to drive either of our cars. To my husband's credit.... he went along with my craziness and ended up driving my purple Cavalier for several years. That story serves to show how difficult it is for me to get a new car. Yesterday's test drive quickly turned into a deal and we decided to jump... which then turned into about an hour of me debating colors. My Wonderful Husband, our salesman, and The Princess (who ended up there after her orthodontist appointment) were all very patient with me while I finally decided on the silver. Long story, not much shorter.... I LOVE MY SILVER ELANTRA!!! Love, Love, Love it!!
