Goodbye Old Car...HELLO NEW CAR!!!

We decided we needed to get a new car since both our cars are 10 years old. So we heard about the "Cash for Clunkers" deal and decided to give it a whirl. So we traded in Brandon's Blazer and got 4,500.00 towards our NEW car!! Not too SHABBY!! Here's our finally day with Bran's Blazer:



Goodbye Blazer we'll miss you!! We had some good times!
Hello New Car!!! Here's our new car. We went and did a lot of test driving and getting mad at dealerships for being too pushy (one in particular). Hint: it's a Nissan dealer on Riverdale Road, their Honda dealership across and up the street isn't much better, we went to the Honda dealer twice to try the Accord and noone ever even came out to see us. At the unnamed Nissan dealer it felt like I was buying a used car at "Bob Schmuck's autorama"... So (off of the soap box now), we had it narrowed down between the Mazda 6 and the Nissan Altima. But the Nissan won over Bran's little heart (Despite our prior experiences) and we got this beauty from Christopher Nissan (Jerry Seiner) in Bountiful who were AMAZING and we recommend whole-heartedly:






We were so excited!! Bran's been taking care of it like its his baby! It has a lot of cool features. It's almost totally keyless. You just have to have "the key" on your person as you walk up to it and you can open the door!! or start the car!! So no more diggin' for my keys in my purse while carrying groceries and holding Vaughn's silly little paws!! Plus, it wont let you lock your keys in your car!! If the "key" is in the car when its locked it will just beep at you and unlock the car! NICE!! We probably looked silly to the dealership when we had to turn the car on and off a few times by pushing the button and giggling every time.. We don't get out much..

Bran and his baby!! Isn't he just the cutest!
