Out with the old, in with the new

We bought a new car!!! My honda civic was on it's last leg, and we felt like we need a reliable car since we commute so much! Soooo- Clint decided he wanted to sell my car and buy a hatchback. We did the "sell my car" part no problem, but I did NOT want a hatchback. For one, I hate the way they look.. and secondly.. I hate the way they look. No offense for all you hatchback drivers out there, but I could not wrap my head around paying for & driving a car that I didn't think looked "cute." Stupid I know, but hey it's how I feel. Clint's co worker has a mazda 6 and informed him that it looks like a sedan, but in fact is a hatchback! Problem solved! We just bought a Mazda 6i 5 door. The 5th door is the hatchback part. It's a 2007 and in perfect shape! It's silver, with black interior and has low mileage. We got it for an amazing price! (It's not what you know, but who you know. Am I right?) Anyways, I feel really lucky to be driving such a nice car! I have not had a nice, almost new car ever! Too bad I am not as excited about the car payment each month. Oh how I miss not having one. I will try to take some pictures and post them soon! UPDATE: Here are some pictures!
 
Gunner rides in the back now, and he hates it!

I'm so jealous you have a new car! I know we won't even be getting used car here for a LONG time! Hope you post some pics soon! :)

How exciting! I had never heard of it before, so I had to look it up online. It is such a nice (and cute) car. Glad you talked Clint out of the typical hatchback. If you are going to have a car payment every month......you better like the car, right?!?!

Those are really nice cars and definitely cute. You wouldn't even be able to tell that it's a hatchback.

Nice car! And you're right it doesn't look like a hatchback at all.

Very nice car! I wouldn't have guessed it was a hatchback.

I like your background! I will be around Sat night or most of next week if you want to do a banner. Let me know.

How did you get the cute layout? I have never been able to figure it out! Please share when you get the chance.

Abbey said...

THANK YOU! That was so easy! I have been trying to do that for almost a year. Maybe my new cute layout will get me more motivated to blog!

Congrats!!! I love the car! I am totally with you... Hatchbacks are SOOOO not cute! Chris likes them and I am just like you- I don't think I could ever buy one... But I LOVE the car you bought!
