My New Whip

Well... I had to say good-bye to an old friend last weekend. She was always reliable, took me to where I was going and turned heads when we passed by. Oh okay, all but the last one. I sold my '99 Toyota Camry to a friend of mine's daughter. Her daughter turns 16 in December and is already loving on my old car. Paul and I had planned on trying the single car approach this summer, BUT we started car shopping a little too early. I kept telling Paul I didn't want to look if we weren't going to buy...

He talked me out of going in to work on Saturday to look for a little while. Well, it was the end of the month (did you know you get better deals on the last day of the month?) and it sounded a lot more exciting than cleaning up my room at school. We had looked at Toyotas a couple of weekends ago when our other Camry was getting an oil change. We didn't test drive, just sat in a bunch of Highlanders. They very comfortable, have seating for 7 and you can put a lot of stuff in them. I really like Highlanders and if money was no object would have loved to get a Highlander Hybrid. So we went to Honda. Paul kept talking about CR-Vs. He has driven a couple of them and has a friend who loves theirs. I wasn't convinced. I guess I had a preconceived notion of what a CR-V was...but I loved it. If you're interested here is the official website: http://automobiles.honda.com/cr-v/. After thinking over lunch, test driving a Highlander and remembering how much more those were, we bought a CR-V.When you look at this picture remember I was planning on cleaning up my room at school all day, not prepared for pictures.
