2009 Honda Pilot
My hubby had sworn he would never buy me an SUV with all the in-town driving that I do. Hmm, amazing what batting my big brown eyes can get! Actually, we had no intentions, what-so-ever, of buying a car today.
I had the day all planned out: work out while hubby ran errands, meet hubby to look at cars, eat lunch, head home for some quality time with the man before the kids got home.
Here's how the day actually went:
9:00-Worked out
10:15-Met hubby
10:25-Looked at cars/SUVs
10:30-Talked about our options
10:45-Test drove SUV
10:46-Fell in love with the SUV
11:10-Talked some more about our options
12:30-Went to lunch in the SUV
12:40-Decided it was more than we wanted to pay
1:20-Returned to dealership with a low-ball price
1:50-They accepted the price
2:15-Filled out the necessary paperwork
2:45-Cleaned out my Infiniti I30
3:15-Called to make sure my little brother could get the kids off the bus
4:00-Drove the vehicle home
5:00-Hubby took big ol' fat check to the dealership
I LOVE it! It is loaded! Has everything except the navigation system. My kids love the DVD player with the nice large (10.2 inches) screen. I am loving the XM radio.
It has taken some getting used to as I have always been a "car" person. My biggest challenge is parking. I must say, I am getting better every day!

What a fun day! I love Honda's, used to have one myself. Enjoy!
How exciting! Gotta love that new-car smell.
I have to drive an SUV for work because of the terrain I have to travel over. I really want one of those hydrogen/electric cars that they only sell in California (the Clarity). Waah!
Congrats on your new car. Nothing better than that new car smell! :)
