She's Here - My New Car!

After a fun drive to Birmingham to go get her, and a true "test drive" home through all weather elements (including hail when we waited it out under a bridge), she's here, with just a few small things that Enterprise will be correcting.

She was missing her driver's side mat, which my local Enterprise replaced for me on the spot, and needed her windshield wipers replaced (again done immediately when I stopped by my local car sales office). They're ordering me a second electronic key (she only came with one from Birmingham) and they're going to replace the driver's side mirror - do you see why? LOL

There are a few small dings that may need some touch up paint, but this is her after I took her into my local detailer for a full wax this morning:

LOVE this car and how she handles - she drives like a dream (once you take her out of manual mode that you accidentally put her into when you started to drive off! LOL).

Sweet ride, Robin!! Congrats!!!

Nice car Robin. Enjoy this treat to yourself:gj:

Awesome car!

I love the dog in the second-from-the-bottom picture :D

Thanks Judy! No smoking in that car - AND, I even went out and bought a seat cover for the back seat for Diamond - especially since we're hitting the road tomorrow to head to NC for a week!

Thanks! I will definitely enjoy it - since I HAD to get a new car, might as well get one in my budget that I'd love!

You might even end up secretly happy that the other one was totaled. It.s a great time to get it, just before leaving on a trip.

Sweeeeet! Have a great trip to NC, what part are you going to?

Oh, I am secretly happy already - I'm just NOT happy to have car payments again. Gonna have to tighten the money belt a bit! And technically, I knew I was going to need to get a new car in the next year anyway, I just was really dragging my feet because I was enjoying having a car with no payments.

I can't stop going outside to look at her and bounce on my toes with excitement a little! LOL

Greensboro

My wonderful neighbor went with me, and it was great having her with me - I treated her to lunch in Birmingham, and she was a great co-pilot on the way back, figuring out what different buttons did in the car for me. :D

Oh, but wow, this thing holds a LOT of gas! I'm used to spending - oh, about $30 to fill my tank, give or take. I stopped to fill up today, with about 1/3 of a tank of gas, maybe a little less in it, and it goes up and over $30 and I'm like, wait....what?????

This puppy holds 20 gallons of gas, my '99 Altima only held 12.

Sweet! You and Diamond come pick me up :P Do you ever go to Animal Atlanta anymore, at the new spot?

It is right next to my parents pond, they went from being in a great spot to you, to being in a great spot to me :P:oops: Still the same ol' conditions though :rolleyes:

Congrats Robin *she* is a lovely new addition to your... uhm, family of cars? :D

Nothing nicer than getting a reliable new vehicle. :gj:
