The End of an Era

I would like to observe a moment of silence to remember our late '98 Honda Accord... okay not too long. On Saturday we received some bad news. The Honda did not pass the inspection here in Texas and required repairs way more than the car was worth. This sent us on a car hunt. We knew what we were looking for so within a few hours we were saying our goodbyes to "The Beast" or the Honda. Many hundreds of miles were driven behind this steering wheel.
Goodbye Honda. So glad to see you go.

Goodbye fading paint. Oh how embarrassed I was to drive you.

Goodbye broken knobs... goodbye to the pliers required to turn the knobs.

I guess it wasn't that sad at all... and at 11:30 pm when all the papers were signed

We drove away in this sweet blueberry of a beauty!
Yes just a mere 2 weeks after our first grown up purchase, the new washer and dryer, soon followed a much, much bigger and more grown up purchase. I love everything about our new 2010 Nissan Altima. And no matter how many "New Car" air fresheners you buy, nothing beats the real thing! I am so blessed...

  1. LOVE all the pics in honor of the (late) Honda! LOL Tom is trying so hard to act sad in the picture next to "the Beast" but you can tell he's really jumping for joy on the inside! Haha... so happy for y'all with your fancy new car! Yay!
