Bye Bye Monte Carlo!!!

Tom had to say his final goodbyes to his trusty ol Monte Carlo on Thursday morning...



It's been a long and stressful journey but we finally came to a decision on a Mazda CX7...

We went to look at the Mazda's on Tuesday and found this one and came to a deal on it but the dealer wasn't willing to let us "sleep on it" to make a final decision considering we weren't planning on buying a car that day and didn't have the Monte with us or the check book and it was getting late and I needed dinner. We decided to walk away and leave it up to fate because the dealer told us it would be sold the next day to one of the two people that had "meetings" for it tomorrow. Tom ended up getting food poisening from the place we went out to dinner at so we decided it really wasn't for us and we would let someone else have it... Sure enough the dealer called Tom the next day at 7pm saying we could still have it if we wanted it... We were kind of thinking we were going to get this call anyway so we weren't suprised. We decided to make them add on a tow hitch to the package and took the deal. Tom put a deposit on it Wednesday night and we finaced it though our bank Thursday morning and then set out to sign the contract and drove it home on Thursday. I am really happy with the car. It's sporty, roomy and safe... eveything we were looking for in my Mommy Car!!! Hopefully the dogs will like it too since they will be riding in the way back from now on which they are not used to... We shall see how that goes...
