The fourth and newest member of our family. We just got him tonight and I can’t stop smiling. He’s a stylish and sophisticated 2003 Acura MDX. Low mileage–high style. Love him already! We traded in Chris’s longtime girlfriend, Brittany, (SEE YA!) for $3,200. We couldn’t believe the guy was actually gonna give us that for the ’97 Toyota Camry (complete with cracked windshield, dead battery, broken side-view mirror and 176,101 miles). Honestly, that was the selling point for me: getting that much for a trade-in. I hate spending money. I have avoided and/or ignored all conversations we have had about getting a new car because I couldn’t stomach forking out monthly payments again. (Our cars were both paid off–as if it wasn’t obvious that a 1997 and a 2002 car would be paid off by 2010.) I thought for sure that I would feel sick all night after signing the papers. Can you believe I don’t…at all! It’s the first vehicle Chris and I purchased together–we didn’t ask our parents, or get a co-signer on a loan. I feel rather grown-up. Harrison, hope you stay awhile.
Yay! Very nice. And VERY grown-up. :) And great choice. A friend of mine has had three of those and said she’ll probably never own anything else. Congrats.
It’s dazzling. So modern and chic!
Harrison is a boy….and he is technically my car to drive around town and our family car to take on trips. Chris needed a son.
Look at you guys!!!!!!!!!!! Sooo wait, is Harrison a girl car? If Harrison is a boy car, then…Chris?? hahahaha just kidding.
Congrats! New cars are the BEST!!
My dad got a new Honda Fit a few weeks ago and he couldn’t stop kissing and hugging it. Going from a 14 mile per gallon gas hog to a small 35+ mile plus was awesome!
