Not Even a Week Later...New Car!

We have a new car.

It's a new-to-us car. We bought it from a dealer. The dealer's digs were amazing in themselves. It's this huge complex. You go in and you can sit and watch TV, drink soda, coffee, hot cocoa or bottled water, eat cookies and they even have a play room for the kids.

The play room was a good thing considering we were there for seven hours. It seems like every time we buy a car it takes forever and we both end up starving by the end of the day. Finn was a trooper and despite not having his regular afternoon nap, didn't break down until the very end of the day. Our boy is awesome.

The stats. 2003 Saab 9-5 ARC wagon. Brown exterior, tan leather interior, both in excellent shape. It both warms and cools your ass. Six cylinder turbo engine for all those Seattle soccer mom drag races in the industrial sector on Sunday nights. Our car seat looks nice in it...I know, really important. It may bankrupt us with the repairs. It's as total mom car and fucking sweet.

It's funny because after all my complaining, both M. and I were kind of sad to see the Neon go. It's been our car for almost ten years. It gave us a good seven years. It was purple. It's traded in and gone now. ::sigh::

The fam is borderline sick, hungry and really tired. I'll post pics when we can.
