New Car!


After our motorcycle trip Joe has talked nothing (well almost) but upgrading the bike. When our friend (friends we rode with) called to say his dad was selling his bike (the one they rode) Joe was all over it and really wanted to get it. I wasn't really fond of the color. So he began looking around for other bikes.

I asked him how we were going to pay for it and he broke it all down AND added that in the spring we would get a new car with the tax return. We began to look for what we wanted to purchase in the spring. We decided on a Mazda 5. A few days later I was thinking in the shower... getting a new motorcycle now is so stupid! We would ride it for what 3 more weeks then store it all winter?! We need a car that fits us all before winter hits. Gas is too expensive to drive the truck all winter.

I took my thoughts to Joe and he reluctantly agreed. We began actively looking for a car. We're getting paid 5k from a side job in a month or so so we wanted to be out the door that much or less no matter where we bought it from. Our civic is paid off and we can get about 10 out of it. It proved to be harder then we thought as there just weren't very many Mazda 5's to be had that worked for us.

There was one in Spanish Fork that was perfect it was just so far we had to plan a time to go see it. That day came and Joe called me to get eh phone # to make sure they knew we were coming. I logged on again that afternoon, having already been on that morning and saw nothing new, and there it was!!!! It had only been listed for 2 hrs. It was our car!!! I called Joe and he called the people and we ran straight up to Syracuse, drove it and bought it in less then 2 hrs. We are so thrilled!!! We love it!!!

We got a great deal on it. It is worth way more then we paid for it AND it came with a dvd system!!!

Looks sweet. We like Mazda's. You know Brad and the whole Japanese car obsession. he won't let us buy another American car and I guess I am ok with that.
