Crash and a New Car


As most of you have heard, President's Day was very eventful for Andrew and I. As I was running errands on my day off I managed to run my car into the back of someone else's car. Everyone was okay, and there was no damage done to the other car, but my car was not so lucky. The radiator was damaged and by the time I got home (the crash was only a few blocks away) the car was smoking. When Andrew came home, he gave me two choices: We could either fix my car, or we could by a new one (and he would rather me by a new, safer car, that would manage to stop at red lights when it was raining). I agreed with him and we went straight to the dealership. We found the car almost immediately and proceeded to negotiate the price. At one point, when they would not give us the price we wanted, Andrew thanked the man and told him we would keep looking. We left and got in his car and proceeded to drive away. However, before we had left the parking lot, the came out to us and said we could get the price we wanted. :) My husband is such a wonderful negotiator! A few hours later (9:00 pm) I was driving off the lot in my brand new 2009 Honda Fit Sport! I absolutely LOVE this car! It is soooo wonderful! And while I am a little sad about my old car, as it was my first car and given to me by my wonderful dad, I am very excited to be driving this new one around!
