New Car?

So it's been a few months since we blogged so I don't know if anyone will ever read this but I'm soo freaking excited I had to post it! After doing extensive research and budget analysis, Jessi and I have decided to buy a car. In fact we put down the deposit last night. We settled on a 2007 Honda Fit based on extensive positive reviews and it's many neat features.



The Honda Fit is a peppy little car. It's classified as a subcompact (translation: small and inexpensive). The engine's tiny so I don't think I'll be doing any street racing (can anyone actually picture me street racing??) but it gets the job done. It's also a little bumpier than we're used to (Tony and Sally's Ford Taurus and Richard and Gaby's Toyota Avalon have awesome suspension so we're spoiled) but it's to be expected in this class of car. The neatest thing about it is that it's a hatchback. The back seats fold completely flat OR fold up if you need more height. In fact, you can even fold the passenger seat down if you have something really long.



The car we picked out is blue and we've named it Zippy (or Zed for short). It should be ready for pickup on Saturday!



Here's what it will look like (minus the spoiler, that's the sport package):
