New Car



This girl right here got a new car last Thursday and I am LOVING IT!!!! :)

I've been telling D for forever that I want a bigger car so once we have babies we'll have more room, plus I inherited my Momma's back (thanks momma :) ) , so all that bending over and pulling a car seat out wasn't happening for this girl!!!

So, the Sunday before last D just brings it up out of no where for me to start finding what I wanted.  We drove this one home on Monday for a test drive and I fell in love!!!  I was still struggling whether or not I wanted  a Pathfinder or a Pilot.  When we went to the Honda dealership on Tuesday and they wouldn't work with us at all money wise, I knew I wanted the Pathfinder.  We went back and bought it that Thursday!! :)

It drives SOO much different than my Altima, but it's a good different.  The gas mileage is what is taking some getting used to.  My car averaged 26-27 and this one averages 20-22.  It's not bad by any means, especially for how much bigger the Pathfinder is.

I really struggled on whether or not this was a good financial decision since we just bought land, but I couldn't be happier!!! :)

woohoo! SUVs really are great for babies ... cars have a lot of bending over and not much trunk space for strollers, and trucks or the large SUVs (in my opinion) are a little too tall.

If you didn't buy it now, you probably never would have ... babies have a way of draining those bank accounts :) So happy for you.

Just stumbled across your blog... I am totally digging your new ride (and i'm TOTALLY jealous!) I have been wanting an SUV sooo bad! :( It's a great baby mobile though!

VERY nice!!! That still is not bad gas mileage especially for an SUV. I drive an Infiniti G35x and it gets 18-20. :(
