that new car smell

I bought a new car a week ago yesterday and I am *loving* it.

A couple of Fridays back it was pouring down rain as I was headed out of the office so I scrambled to get in to my car as quickly as possible. When I sat down and turned to put my umbrella on the passenger side floorboard, I noticed a puddle of water. Yes, a puddle. I stared... blinked... shit. I got back out in the rain and went to my trunk to grab an old beach towel out. (Luckily I keep one in there to wipe off dirty puppy paws) After soaking up what I could I headed for home thinking 'I am so over these little problems'. I've had leak issues before, they're not fun but when your car is 10 years old you have to expect certain things.

The next day I decided to go test drive some cars. My brother works at a Nissan dealership so I was mainly looking into one of those models. I liked the Rogue but had purposely put off driving anything new until now because I knew the temptation would be too great. When I drove it it just fit. It felt so comfortable... and quiet too. It was all over from there but I wanted a black one. They did have one that had just come in the the lot and still had the plastic on it. My brother hadn't even done the inspection on it yet. I told the sales guy that as long as everything checked out ok on it, that was the one I was taking home. And I did.

So I'll say it again, I am loving my new car. :)
