Car Shopping

Last Friday the insurance company declared my car a total loss. It was the very first car I helped to purchase, and I really liked my Lincoln Mkx. So needless to say, I was pretty bummed out about it.

I started car shopping online as soon as the wrecker guy told my mom that he thought they would total it. I've been driving a Chevy Cruze for a week and a half. Let me tell you, those things get GREAT gas mileage. But I'm not a car person...My first car was an Escape and my second was the Lincoln.

So in the past week and a half -- I've driven for at least a day, if not more: a Chevy Cruze, a Lincoln Mkx, and a Kia Sorrento. After a lot of stressful online shopping, car lots, car salesmen, and a lot of other stressful events thrown into almost two weeks since my wreck, I'm happy to finally say that I own a car again! Thanks in large part to my mom going through all the stressful shopping with me, and Kody taking numerous phone calls and texts for his opinion. I'm SO grateful for you both. And for Ed, the guy who came through with a car we asked him to find!

So what did I end up with you ask? Well, it's being driven in from Tulsa, so I can't pick it up until tomorrow afternoon when I get off work and return the rental car. I'll let you know when it gets here :)

But for the record, I hate car shopping. (And that's about the only kind of shopping I hate.)
