goodbye old friend, hello sexy!

it was time. the trailblazer's days came to an end for us. i was driving an 8 passenger, gas guzzling SUV all by myself. it needed new tires, the air conditioning wasn't working and matt didn't want to start putting money into it. so we researched and found the best midsize car to buy was the honda CRV. we have never had a honda before but they are good cars. i am excited to have a new car but i am also kind of sad to see the trailblazer go. i carted the kids and their friends around in it and many young women . loaded it to the brim for multiple ward camps and girls camps and used it to haul a lot of stuff. it served its purpose for us for 5 years and was a great car. i will miss it.


but on to the cuter, smaller, easier to park, better gas mileage, drives awesome CRV
i have always wanted a sporty black car, when we bought it we only had a choice between black and dark red and i didn't want the red so i took the black and it is so pretty but it is going to be a daily battle to keep it looking like that! matt even moved his truck out of the one covered spot we have for the little cutie that means it's really special :) i am just so nervous now, the trailblazer was pretty indestructable and a tank, i don't want anyone to take it anywhere!

Kanani and I were just talking the other night about our van. I told him I would love a CRV - - they drive really nicely and are great on gas. GOOD FOR YOU!

that totally is a sexy car and it's perfect for you. not too big or small, just right. but i do miss your trailblazer. and i have no idea who that person was who commented. i think it was like your when some random person emailed. i told jason to take care of the problem.

Pretty baby! Did you guys get in on the cars for clunkers deal?

kelly said...

we did not do cash for clunkers, the TB was worth more than 4500$ we just traded it in, we didn't get as much as we wanted but there were a few issues and i guess we couldn't expect much more. also they trash the cars they take for the clunkers,i didn't want them to trash it!

Hondas are great cars, dependable, easy to maintain, drive great, awesome gas mileage and they definitely keep up their value. I hope you have fun with this little car!

my highlander is black too, and it definitely does take a lot to keep it nice & clean. and its funny, although its MY car, my husband treats it like its his baby! he's always washing/waxing/ polishing it!
