I did it. I finally broke down and bought a new car. A 2011 Subaru Outback.
It was time to really start my life a new, time to hand the Jetta keys over to my 21 year old brother (to be fair, he did buy it from me) and get a full on Mommy-Mobile. I just couldn't keep driving First Mate around in the Jetta - it was too small, too unreliable (it's one thing to have a problem when it's just me in the car - it's a total other thing when the wee-one is with me). So, I went into Subaru and made them find one of only TWO navy blue, stick shift, moon-roofed Outbacks in the country (it came to Cherry Hill from SYRACUSE!!!).
I have to admit - it's a sweet ride. Sometimes, I get silly and call it my "new whip"! LOL! It drives very well and is better on gas than the Jetta (well, relative to the size). I am excited about it! Yay for Mommy Cars!
YAY!!! How exciting - she's a beaut :) Hope you're having a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteSweet! Yep the two of you driving around town in the new Mom mobile will be stylin and safe! Congrats :)
ReplyDeleteYay, Outbacks are fantastic quality cars, really reliable and totally mom-ified!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Enjoy the ride!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice, great color! One of my favorite cars.
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny! I love that you made them find it in Navy Blue. Enjoy the ride...Outbacks are fabulous especially in the winter months.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I have an award for you over at my blog.
Congrats, I just got a new car too!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! My new-mom sister did the same thing. She sold her Passat to make way for a Highlander.
ReplyDeleteLove your new car! It really has an understated elegance IMHO, congratulations! The Consort's sister has one and just loves it, I think you will be really happy with it. :)
