Car Shopping

Today was very exciting, we went and looked at cars. In case you don't know someone-hubby- is in need of a new car. The poor TA(trans am) has seen better days, and he's been a little slow on giving it up. Not that I blame him it's his last piece from single hood. Don't think I wouldn't miss it either cuz I will. Not that I've driven it in over a yr, but I loved having it on Sundays. I got to feed the little speed demon in me. So after talking about selling the TA for over a yr now, he's finally agreed it's time. It's also a great time cuz hopefully(fingers crossed) in early Aug we will be driving-yes driving-to Chicago. Though my car is nice and holds us and would make it no problem, it would be VERY packed if we drove it. Today we finally made it to Carmax, we decided to start there since they would have a large selection of different models and it's in one spot so we don't have to get the kids in and out of the car....big plus. They also have good prices and not pushy. After spending about an hr there and having a great sales guy helping us. We(ok hubby) narrowed it down to 3-Chevy TrailBlazer; Mitsubishi Outlander; and Pontiac Torrent. Hubby did some research online when we got home and I think he's leaning more towards the Outlander. We are going to see what a Mitsubishi dealer will give it to us for a brand new one, since one of them around here still has some '07's around and I'm sure they are also trying to get rid of the '08 now too, it's almost time for the '09's to come out. We'll see, next is cleaning the TA up, which will be Tuesday's project....the kids will have fun they loved it when we washed my car a few weeks ago.
