This past week we said goodbye to our Acura (we sold it ourselves online in less than 6 hours!) and we traded in my Ford Focus that I have had since I was 16 years old.

Welcome to the one-car world! Although yours gets a bit better gas mileage than ours.
It was even more beautiful in real life. :) I was admiring it in the driveway. :)
