A New Member of the Family

To a follow up to my previous post about my car, we bought a new one on Saturday. We picked mine up from Midas and Daniel drove it home and said it was running good. He looked online on how to get the check engine light to go off, which he did and said that since it was running good it was time to get rid of it before it started acting up again. We went to a Mazda dealership as we had been doing research on various SUV's and the Mazda CX-9 got very good reviews. I had found a used one at this particular dealership but called only to find out it was sold. We went up there anyway in hopes of finding another used one that we liked. WIth the options we wanted, they didn't have any used CX-9's that fit all the criteria we had our hearts set on. So, we ended up getting a 2011 with 13 miles on it. Daniel made the sales guy drive it around the block to get the odometer to change from 13 to 14. We were at the dealer for 7 hours and even though the air was broken and it was every bit of 85-90 degrees inside, the girls were VERY well behaved and made me very proud. I am still a little freaked out to be taking on a car payment after about 12-18 months without one, but am so happy to have a bigger car and car that is under warranty.

Here is our new "baby"
