Mom Bought Us a New Car!

Stevie on Activities - Wed, March 19 2008

Well...mom did it. She's getting a new car. Trading in that tacky 2004 Honda Element for something much more fuel efficient (although she says she's going to miss her AWD in the snow/rain).

Mom's got an '08 "Blackberry Peal" Honda Fit Sport coming in on a truck next week just for us. How nice is she?? She will still have plenty of room to put our crates and all of our things when she takes us places. And now we can leave all of our hair on the carpeted interior (another plus of the Element :))

Mom's very excited because this is her first brand spanking new car and she can't wait to not spend $300-$400/month on gas!!!

Tell her that she needs to take us on a road trip now that she'll be able to afford it....

That's great Stevie!! Mom's got a Honda Civic and she's glad it's not a gas guzzler.

Congrats on the new car. I am sure you and all the pups at your house will enjoy it just as much as your mom!! My momma got a new car a while back and she is amazed that I haven't made any messes in it yet!!

Oh yeah...Civics are awesome. Mom said she "had to have a hatchback" for our crates to fit (she hates sticking crates on backseats...it's hard to get to them) so she went with the Fit. This doesn't get quite as good as the Civic in gas mileage, but it's pretty darn close!

Congrats on the new car! Hatchbacks are the best. We loves mom's (newer) Prius.

hmm...makes me remember my first car. It was a 1984 Ford Escort and it had a hatchback. Oh what memories that hatchback contained! Nothing I can report here on IP.

I'm jealous! I looked those up, and they are very cute. I love small cars.

Wow, Stevie. You'll be rolling in the lap of luxury pretty soon!

Dad had to trade his Ford F150 4x4 in last year. He was tossing between a new Honda Fit and a Mazda 3. He ended up going with the Mazda 3, but of course it had to be a hackback. Amazingly enough we just found out 2, 100 plus pound dogs can fit in his car.lol Dad went from spending $150/week in gas to $40/week. He LOVES his little Mazda.
