a new car story...NBR

back story - my XDH and I were always broke.  Like almost welfare broke.  So I have always driven crappy cars.  My 'best' car was a '95 Odyssy in 2001 (which I drove until last fall when it had almost 300,000 miles on it and finally blew up).   Meanwhile I've driven my daughter's '89 VW and now a '95 Corolla.  All perfectly "fine" cars.  But merely transportation. 

Today we picked up my new car.  DH picked it out for me - my requirements were not more expensive for car insurance, less than $10k (to pay cash), and NOT a minivan. 

I drove my BMW 323i home today!  It's used but it is BY FAR the nicest car I've ever driven.  I'm so totally over the moon!!  I feel like a queen driving this car down the road!! 

That's all - just had to share!

  • How exciting!! 

    I cannot wait to afford a new (new for us) car. We share a 89' Acura Integra that is about to fall apart, and has no A/C. I am slightly jealous!

    Enjoy it momma! You will be driving that baby around in style!

  • Yay!  I totally geeked out when we first got ours. Like put makeup on to go to Safeway because I have to look nice in my nice car.  I got over that. Big Smile

    Please tell me it's manual?

    It's BOTH!!  It's an automatic with a "sport" package which means I can switch it to manual and push the stick shift up or down to "sport shift"!! 

    I have cup holders for the first time!!  And power EVERYTHING....and IPod/Phone integrated...and sattelite radio...

    (I may just go sleep in the car...would that be wrong?)
