Car shopping--can we say, FUN!!!

Car shopping today. What fun? that was. We walked all over 4 or 5 car lots, just to see what was 'out there!' Good news, I can afford a 'brand new car' if---I'm not TOOOO picky about the 'extras.' I've been making a list. It is sort of fun to write what I want and then write what I'll settle for. For instance, I WANT a sunroof, but I HAVE to have power windows and locks! See what I mean, and I haven't even test driven anything yet. There is a Toyota that I really like, a Honda and a Ford. The Toyota looks like a box [I know, it surprised me too that I liked it] but it is totally cute. If I like it when it's been test driven, it will be in the running as I could get a brand new one. The Honda Civics were great but I'd have to get used. I did see a Malibu and Focus that I liked. As you can tell, I'm not shopping High End. What I really need is something dependable that gets good gas mileage. It will be interesting what I end up with. Sopping on Sunday was great, no pushy sales people but I didn't get to drive anything so I've got a lot to do still. Hope I'm sane by the time we are through???

The only thing that sucks more than buying a car is buying a house. I hate buying cars. I hate dealerships. Dirty rotten scoundrels, all of them!

Anyway, it was fun to visit on Saturday. It was just what I needed. I still laugh when you said: "Uh Breane, the boys would like to meet your friend..." and then Breane took off running. Good stuff!
