Out with the old....
And in with the new ~
Quite a change, huh? The photo of the Sebring, to me, doesn't look like a twelve year old car that has rarely seen the inside of a garage. In person, the car was a little beat up. Of course, it was sitting outside during two major hail storms and a tornado. Not to mention the two hundred-year floods, when the streets overflowed and the water came up to the doors and leaked inside. The Sebring was starting to nickle and dime me, too. We had it in the shop at least once a month last winter. Once it was in the shop twice in one week, for different issues. The real problem with the Sebring was that my family just doesn't fit into it anymore. The backseat area is pretty small, and my mom had trouble getting in and out of the front seat. Walker fessed up, too, that he felt cramped riding in it. So I guess it was time. I did feel a little blue, signing it over and walking away. Someday, I'll have another convertible. For now, though, it's kinda fun tooling around in my new Journey.
The Sebring does look very nice for one who has been through so much! The new wagon looks very nice. I had a fun car that I loved so much, but not at all conducive to carrying around precious cargo of 4 growing girls. My minivan is the trick for now. Someday I hope to have a VW bug!
ReplyDeleteI read the last post about your weight loss trials. I lost 42 pounds on a very healthy plan, starting two years ago now this coming January. It took me about 7 months and I was so proud. I cleaned out my closet this past April, and now I've gained back and nothing I saved will fit me this winter - nor did I have the fun summer clothes to wear. I am so aggravated with myself - I can't seem to get the mindset back again. It is very distressing.
I can't remember how we connected - can you let me know how you got to my site? Have a great day!
I don't blame you. It would have been hard for me to part with the convertable. But when you start having trouble with a car, it is time for a new one. Love your new ride. Funny, that you should mention a VW. I had a red one in the early 60's, loved it. We drove it to California and back once.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! That new car is nice! The Sebring looks really good for all it's been through. My aunt had a green Sebring convertible that she LOVED!
ReplyDeleteLike Dawn I lost a bunch of weight. We were kind of losing it at the same time and when we met in person we had our picture taken. I lost about 31 pounds. Now a year later I have gained most of it back. I felt so good when I was thinner so why do I let myself gain it back??????? Very discouraging to say the least.
Yes, Sister Act was very good!!
The new car looks very nice. May you have many miles to get to know each other.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Have fun! :-)
ReplyDeleteDawn, it looks like I followed a couple links, starting with a comment on Donna's blog, Just Me. From there I went to Midlife Mom, another blog I had not visited before. And that is where I found a link to Grandma Dawn.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations with your new car! I totally understand about not wanting to sell your old car, it looked awesome! But I'm sure you'll get even more joy out of your new one! :)
