Bringing in the New Year With a New Car


Remember that test drive last November? Well, it resulted in a new Subaru Outback. We decided as long as I had a job for the remainder of this year and hopefully all of next year, and our savings was built up, AND our Acura was acting like it was headed for major repair bills - (according to Jack.... Hmmm??) -etc, etc.....the timing just seemed right.
He wanted a vehicle where the seats were off the ground more than the Acura and one that had good ratings all the way around. I like the idea that it can haul so much stuff because up and down the highway to CA, we manage to take a lot of "stuff" with us everyt time we travel.
We've never had a gold car before and with our dirt road, we only had 3 choices in light colors. I like the gold.NO, we did not get rid of the van. I'm driving it for as long as I can! 38 years, I hate to even think of not driving that old vehicle.

WOW...what a beautiful way to start the new year. My little Honda CRV is doing wonderful but has past the 10 year mark. My Bob would be screaming at me.....he never tolorated a vehicle with that much age. As long as it gets me from A to B and back, I just keep rolling. Finally sold my 94 Jeep Grand....sure hated to see it go. Let me know how you rate your Suburu as you enjoy it.
