Happy Early Birthday to Me!

Everyone wants a new car for their 16th Birthday, well, 20 years later, for my 36th Birthday I got my new car.  My sweet Liberty has gotten to the age where if we waited any longer to trade it in it wouldn't be worth anything, so we made the decision to get a car, we needed a more fuel efficient vehicle.

I really loved my Liberty, so making this decision was a difficult one for me.



I knew, however, that I needed to say goodbye.  Boy will I miss her!  Just writing this makes me want to cry, isn't that crazy?  I kept reminding myself, it is only a car, so why did I feel like I was giving away a dear friend?


Here is my new car.  I absolutely love it!  It is a Mazda6 and now I can drive around saying Zoom Zoom, haven't you always wanted to do that?

Love the car! I'm the same way about being sentimental about things - so many memories involved! Glad you are feeling well. You look great!

Yeah, I know how you feel. It’s really difficult to let go of a car where you had lots of good memories. But, all in all, I think trading your car in for a Mazda 6 was worth it. The Mazda can definitely give you a better driving experience, and it would handle easier than your old car. It’s smaller so you can easily maneuver around the bends, and it’s pretty fuel-efficient too!
