Okay, I realize that that is the Mazda catch phrase but whatever. I finally did it after months of hemming and hawing. I finally went out and got a new car. It is an 06 Chevy Cobalt and I got a good deal on it (at least I think I did and that is all that counts) since they are clearing out the 06's to make room for the 07's. I forgot how nice it was to be in a shiny happy new car. Oddly though, I do miss my old car just a little bit. She was a good car and was always good to me. We had been through a lot together. Oh well, I guess I can make new memories with this car.

Well? What was the old car?
My wife and I looked at a Cobalt. Very cute, very zoomy, but not really practical to fit three kids into.

Brad-I traded in the 2000 Toyota Echo. . .
Ian-yeah, not so conducive to wee-uns, but it has more balls than i expected
New car smell?
Just don't become obsessed like D. It will give you ulcers. :-)
Congrats, but one question. Why not a hybrid? I don't think gas prices will stay down for long. Consumer Reports says they are a pretty good deal over 5 years, if gas stays above $2.50.
I can't believe D hasn't commented on how many trips to the dump you had to make to clean out the old car before trading it in!
congrats on the new car!

Alright, alright - Morgen, you're right, multiple trips to the dump will be required to clean out that trash heap. Though they may just keep it on the lot to throw garbage into. Or to use as a spitoon. That dealership must have been desperate to sell him that Cobalt, b/c they actually gave him a respectable sum, in dollars, in trade for that poor Echo.
Anti-Tron - I am NOT obsessed! I just like things clean. All the time. And I don't have ulcers. Yet.
