New Wheels!!

Total non running post today because it was a rest day. The BF and I have been looking for a new car for a little while now and frankly I was over it, particularly the salesmen. We had been looking at a particular manufacturer as the BF works for a major Aust car company, but the dealer we visited a few weeks ago was an arrogant little turd. When he priced the car for us he just sat there and said "So! how a about it?", I told him that we would like some privacy to talk about it and he said, you'll love this "What's to talk about?", at which point we said see you later and walked out. Anyway, developments, the BF has now quit major car company, thank GOD! Because the place was a shambles and he was constantly stressed. The way the place is managed it is a wonder they ever get around to actually making any cars, anyway that chapter is closed so no more bitching. That is why I didn't blog on Thursday night because we went out to dinner to celebrate, funny I know but it is a relief really. So, today we headed down to Subaru in Port Melbourne and I am now the proud owner of a shiny new Subaru Forester (Red). I am really looking forward to having a car we can chuck the bikes into the back of again. Best thing they actually offered a really good trade in on my shitty old Daewoo, I could barely conceal my shock! Even better they did not have the colour I wanted with the interior trim I wanted so I ended up picking up he demo that I test drove, it had only done 1600Km - HEY, I have done more than 1600Kms this year ;-) so a good day all 'round really as it came in under my budget. And I'll give credit to the place, no heavy salesman crap, they were happy to let us just wander around jumping in and out of cars and generally poke around until we were ready to have a test drive. Then they took us on this really cool off road set up they had so we could see what the AWD was like. Never thought I would be raving about a "buying a new car" experience. Can't wait to pick it up now.
