uber large purchase.

So I bought a new car! I have wanted a new car since about a week after I purchased my old car. Sadly, my last car was bought out of desperation.

One week after I started my first job out of college, a 16 year old ran a stop sign and drove right into my driver side door, crushing my leg in the process and spinning my car several times off of the road. Good times. At the time, I was home in PA visiting family and friends and found myself with a totaled car and no way of getting back to MD and back to my new job. So I literally found a car the next day that ran, and bought it in order to make my way back to MD before the weekend was over. Not a good way to go about buying a car!

So three years later, I finally decided it was time for a car that did not shake when going over 60 mph and would not feel like it was falling apart when driving over even a pebble in the road.

And here is the winner! Isn't she pretty? It's a 2008 Mazda6! Still trying to come up with a name for her...which is tough to do. All of my cars have had pretty rad names, so this one needs to be most rad - it's the nicest car I have ever owned! And it gets really great gas mileage, which I desperately needed for my way-long commute now. (M and his pride and joy of a Mustang :) are in the photo too)
