a Honda CRV!!! Jason and I just bought a new car. After spending several days riding around on my previous wheels (my bike), I told Jason we were not leaving on Saturday without a set of keys in my hand. We actually had a great time. We went to a couple of different places but had done our research and knew we would probably end up with a Honda CRV. Well 3:00 pm rolled around and we hadn't eaten lunch. We were both starving! Jason told our salesperson that we were going to go get lunch then come back. Well, you know how these salespeople can be. First, as soon as you step out of your car they are hounding you like if you were a piece of meat. Next, they try to make a deal with you before showing you how much everything would cost. Luckily I had my "FINANCE" major husband with me to tell them how he really felt! No, he wasn't mean but he wanted to see an itemized printout sheet that they weren't giving him. I had to pull the "I'm pregnant and need to eat lunch now" card. Finally, when we said we were going to eat lunch, they told us that they would get us lunch and get us a printout! Then they started moving! Hello! Why didn't that happen sooner? We are still wondering about that.
Not only did they get us lunch, they spoiled us. They let us order P.F. Chang's. Jason and I split a dinner. He looked at what we were ordering and said, "Is that it?" I said, "Okay, throw in the Great Wall of Chocolate (a fabulous dessert if you've never had it)."
The best part of the night was when we were meeting with the paperwork guy. He asked how we were paying for our downpayment. Jason replied, "Cash!" So, he looked down to check the box and when he looked up we pulled out the stack of bills (from the sale of our other car). We all started laughing because I'm sure he wasn't expecting that. We had a good time with that one!
But all that time we spent looking for the perfect car was time well spent. I just love the car! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

SWEEEET RIDE!!! Sounds like you went to a great place to get lunch and DESSERT!!!
That's not fair!!! When I bought my car (a year ago) I was ultra prego and they didn't throw in dinner! It's probably because you are better looking....
Yea! No more bike riding in 100 degree weather. I LOVE the CRV's, and my honda was the best car ever. We are looking to swap cars sometime soon and that is one of our choices too. Congrats!
You are going to be the cool mom. Your kids will let you drop them off in front of the school instead of down the block!
Car salesman are spawns of Satan.
I love your new car. So much cooler than a bike! And you'll feel so safe driving around a baby in it.
I love the CRV--I so wish that it had more seats! So happy for you.
