All about cars...
Lindsay (my wife, for those of you who don't know) has been without a car for almost a year now, since her last one, Patches, died.
This lack has been wearing on her and we began the hunt to find her the perfect car in the perfect price range. For a while, this hinged on the Honda Civic hatchback since being a hatchback was one of her requirements. We discovered over time that the Civic simply wouldn't work. Lindsay still wanted it, but her logical side told her no.
Even more, it told her she wouldn't be happy with any purchase since she was still undecided with exactly what she wanted.
Last week Lindsay gave me the directive "Find an Element". If you know I am an Element fanatic. Don't ask my why but I've been in love with that vehicle since I test drove it on a whim looking for cars for big guys. Since then, I've been a memeber of the Element Owners Club and I've even got an Element section of my photo gallery.
Come Thursday evening I was informed I'd been approved for financing on an Element and I'm THRILLED! After SO long not having one, I am gonna get one. Yay!
The fact that I'm getting an Element is awesome, to the point where it even overshadows what SHOULD be better news... I paid off 'Bu. :) I felt pressured into buying Bu many years ago and have come, for the most part, to resent that car. On Friday, I did an early payoff on it and it is MINE. This makes room in the budget for the Element, and gives Lindsay a car to drive.
I haven't really slept a whole night since being told I was approved. :)
