Mommy's new car

I finally got a new car. We have been talking about buying a new car this year, but can't decide between a smaller sedan or stay with a SUV. Finally, when I saw this 2008 Tahoe, I know this is the one! It has everything I wanted. Of course I thought I was little crazy buying this big "oil sucker". We got pretty good deal, plus I'd rather pay for gas than interests :-) By then, I realize the reason I had been indecisive was I'm not willing to change to small car while waiting for better deals.

What's interesting is the very next day we bought the new car, my pickup started throwing temper at me. First, right-turn signal didn't work. I told my husband, my pickup wasn't happy, as "he" knows I'll dump him :-) Then this past weekend, I heard squeaky sound in the front. Hope everything works well before we sold it.


It's really strange, I had this pickup since 1999, the only problem I had once was window motors, that's it! I had many scratches on it, and several accidents from others, it's like the money I got from insurance is more than its value to be sold now! Now you ask me to sell it, I do feel sad. Think about, 8years, how many things "he" witness in my life, my trip to San Marcos two three times a week, one trip to New Orleans with 7 people in it, numerous trips to take Feizai to the park, moving from Austin to Houston, etc... "He" knows all of my friends and relatives, and he hears my thought when I'm driving (probably thoughts I never shared with my husband), haha...


I joked with a friend the other day, "he" has plenty of reasons not happy about. It's like I'm dumping my longtime muscular "boyfriend", move onto a new "family guy". And now, "he" has to share the garage with this "new guy", his old buddy of the black sedan was kicked out to small garage, even Kaitlyn enjoys riding new car better... What a life, "he" is part of our family for so many reason. I can't imaging when Feizai leaves us one day...
