Said Goodbye and Waiting to Say Hello!!!

Said goodbye to my car yesterday officially!!! Everything went through!!! The car is gone!!!

I may have broke out into a song...

I also may have felt like this commercial as soon as I got the cheque:

So I am car-less, stuck driving M's Explorer - which hates me... did I mention that thing hates me?

So knowing how unpractical driving around the Explorer is.. I knew we would need to find a new car soon!!

I found the PERFECT one!!! Set up an appointment to go see it Wednesday night, called Wednesday afternoon and the person on the phone said it was sold - gone - not available... Did I mention it was a great deal? I mean FANTASTIC deal? No? Well it was!! I was upset - without even seeing it in person, it was perfect... Okay I will admit I was PISSED. So back to the drawing board... we were trying to find a vehicle that would be around the same price as what we sold ours for and I was having no luck!! That car was IT!!

So M called the dealership and asked to speak to our salesman and sure enough...

HE PUT IT ASIDE FOR US & MARKED IT SOLD!!!!

We went and checked it out, drove it, FELL HEAD OVER HEELS!!! Okay I did, but but M really liked it too.... all he could keep saying was that "It's not a truck..." However, practical Mike realized that a truck is not a necessity at this time...

WE BOUGHT A PONTIAC TORRENT!!!! Wanna see a pic or two?!

(these are the dealers pictures - obviously they are NOT photographers - not that I am, but I will take some better ones when I get it)

She is fully loaded: Leather heated power seats, sunroof, LOADS of room, cruise control, roof rack, etc...

IN LOVE!!!

The color is still to be determined.. it is like a black cherry/purple metallic - every time we look at the car it seems a different color!!

M and I are pretty pumped!! It is a dream come true - selling the caliber and buying a new one... I hope our dreams continue to come true!!! 

We get to pick it up TOMORROW morning!!!
