Time for a new automobile. Coral and I have enjoyed a Jeep Patriot since 2007. We leased this car and its time has come.
We decided it was time for something a little different. Our needs in a car have changed a bit and what we use it for and we don’t need a big Jeep. Also we wanted to lower our monthly bills so we don’t end up like Greece.
We looked around at a few cars and had some great experiences with some.
Obviously a Chevy Cruze would work for us. I was fortunate to be able to drive one over the winter and road trip to Vegas in it. My folks recently bought a Mazda 3 and over the Black Keys weekend my Mom let me borrow it to drive people around (Thank you Mommy!). That was a very nice car.
Coral really liked the Honda Civic but it wasn’t till I did a Zone radio broadcast from Campus Honda that I got interested in that car.
As is always the case… I looked at a fairly austere Sedan version… but Coral was more interested in blinking lights and what not. I can’t remember what model we ended up on… but its pretty a decent savings per month on our Jeep (which Madelyn calls Jeepy).
We let Mads pick the colour… black is her current fave so black it is. And she seems to be calling the new car Rosie (like Caillou‘s little sister? weird). So that’s that.
Tonight Coral and I will be DJing at Smiths Pub. Maybe you’ll come drink with us?
Go with yourself.
