So, we had been talking about getting a new car for a while. At first it was going to be a second car, so that we could both have one while I have Cora at home and Brandon is gone during rotations. But after that whole "incident" with the car, we knew we just had to replace our good old Pathfinder.
We spent a lot of time researching online, and Brandon called around to a few places to see who could finance us so that we could get a decent car that will last us a while, and yesterday we went to Carmax and got a new car!
Don't mind the naked baby in the blanket... we learned the valuable lesson of why you should have more than one emergency onesie on hand.
I was sad as we drove away from our Pathfinder. It got me to Idaho, California, Idaho, and then all the way to Florida. We drove it on our honeymoon, and have plenty of fond memories of it. It was just getting too unreliable, and we didn't feel safe driving it on the freeway anymore. And if you make me feel unsafe with my baby in the backseat you are GONE.
Ta-Da! We got a 2010 Honda Accord. Gunmetal gray, which makes it sound tough. It feels SO much better than the Pathfinder. We are going to drive it around, because we have 5 days to bring it back for a full refund and we PLAN on testing it out until those 5 days are up.
I will tell the funny stories of what happened in that car dealership when I talk about the time we've had with Brandon, but for now we love our new car! And not so much the payments... But that is a small price to pay for peace of mind.
