are SPECTACULAR!

Yesterday was one of the spectacular kind. We have been having seriously crazy and expensive car trouble as of late and have finally given up on the big car. It is a Honda CR-V. It was always a wonderful car to have, particularly with the dogs, but I must admit to always disliking the near SVU nature of it. Now, we got it because the car we drove out here with, a Honda Civic, did a wonderful job getting us out here but we traded cars with my mom, she had the CR-V, for a reason. I do not currently remember that reason but I am sure there was one. Then, my mom drove the Civic back to KC and gave the car to a family friend who was in need of such a vehicle. The CR-V served us well for 3 and half years but recently began eating money. Chomp chomp chomp.

So, yesterday, as the fuel gauge reached empty we pulled up to the Honda dealership in Huntington Beach and left 2 hours later in this:



This is Starbuck, our new car. She is a 2008! Honda Fit. They are apparently one of the most popular cars worldwide but were never sold in the US until now. It is a reasonable car and was actually cheaper than many of the used Civics. Very nice. It even has an mp3 jack. I like that.
