I have decided to quit talking about getting a new car and to actually do it like a big girl. *reluctant look*
Every.single.car I've bought has been in the winter b/c I've either totaled one (oops) or someone else totaled it for me (think monster jeep in an ice storm versus jax..he drove up OVER the hood of my car. Awesome...)
Anyway, I will NOT look for a car in the winter b/c well, people, it's just not fun. I dont find looking for cars fun anyway, but we all know how I feel about being cold. So, add that to the mix and I'm down right unpleasant.
I dont CARE about cars that much, but I do need one that's more reliable, gets better gas mileage...and one I'm not afraid is gonna leave me stranded in timbucktoo. I dont want anything too expensive b/c again, I dont care. I'd much rather have a car payment that's no big deal and to put down more cash than I should. With me, I'd rather save my money for something fun...like a vacation..or something. Plus, I HATE loans. HATE THEM. I already feel like I have enough of them thanks to law school. I get crazy about my credit card.. (since it's my first one EVER if you'll remember--please applaud my big girl pants from January's resolutions). I seriously pay my balance within a week after I use the card. It's kinda hilarious.
I'm not toting around children (thank God-at this place in my life that is) so it doesnt have to have a ton of room. I am kinda tired of a two door, so will likely go with a small SUV or a 4 door car...maybe. Unlike some, I dont have a "dream car" at all. I really do love SUVs, but with gas prices, that's just not sensible for me. When did I become sensible? *sigh*
So, within the next couple weeks, I suppose I'll get a car. I know the best time to buy is toward the end of the month (3rd week, actually) b/c I'm a research freak. So, if I dont find something this month, then I'll just wait til mid October. I need to start getting excited... I'm working on it... lol! I really DO want a new car...and think it will totally be exciting b/c mine is abouuuuut dunzo.
Mommy wow...I'm a big girl now... LOL!
AND GOSSIP GIRL IS GONNA BE OUTSTANDING TONIGHT! OUT FREAKING STANDING PEOPLE! Think power outage. Think Blair and Chuck. Also, I really want Serena to go all bad girl again. She's boring me. And I think I love Dan. Think I do. I dont want him to be a bad boy though... I like him with Serena.
AND CHICAGO THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!! When Lauren comes here, she's got plenty of other people she has to see and when I go there, I typically stay with Aaron, so this trip is gonna be outstanding since I'm shacking with her and we're having some girl time!!! YAY!

I vote for a Nissan Murano. 4 door, good gas mileage, stylish.
jackie, you know that thing about what happens to kittens when someone *ahem* takes care of business...well, it's like 15 king charles spaniels when someone buys an SUV. (though mothers get somewhat of a by in my book, but still) DON'T DO IT!
I mean, if you do, I'll still be your friend, but you will regret it later, I bet you, because of gas prices, yes, but also because of all the harm it's gonna do to the enviro, dearie.
what about a nice honda civic or toyota corolla? or a mazda 3? compact sedan--plenty of room for you and little G to ride around t-town in style without panicking when you go the skinny lanes of utica. :)
Volkswagen!! I am so completely happy with mine. They have great warranties (pre-owned AND new) and the resell value on them is phenomenal. Good gas mileage and get this - Oil changes every 10K miles!
jeff and i are getting a new car as well as the bud people are losing their company cars. We are leaning towards a jetta or nissan altima. And I love my SUV and I will send you a nice research report that shows that there are alot of small cars that are worse on the environment than some SUVs if you want. Maybe we should go shop together!!!
versa? i don't know, they look cute and car-ey. i hate cars! ;)
just move to a city where you can take public transport and ditch having a car! ;) that's what i want to do, anyway... i was hearing on the radio today something about a hybrid SUV, i think it was made by chevy? so there are definitely options. good luck car shopping. i really hate driving, so i drive a super fast pretty convertible to make me hate driving a little less. it gets terrible gas mileage but it goes really fast and i feel good in it... i just drive it as little as possible. i think i'm gonna get a bike, next! ;)
