As previously mentioned, I am now in possession of a new car. Not just a new car, but a brand new car. This is a first for me. I’ve never owned a new car before, so I was a little giddy last night when I drove it home. Granted, it’s a little bit (OK, a lot) dad-like. That’s OK by me. I got an incredible deal on it and I have enough luck with the ladies without the flashy car. 🙂
It’s a 2003 Taurus SE – one of the last ones on the lot. I got about $8,000 off the sticker just to drive it off the lot for them. Depreciation? Not a problem for me. Anyway, it’s got some really nice features that I didn’t expect on a Taurus, including a pretty good stereo system with 6 CD-changer, great trim, and pretty good power. The best part may be –since I’m used to renting a Taurus on travel– it will feel like I’m on permanent vacation. YAHOOTIE!
She will affectionately be known as the “Brown Bull” or “Torro Marrón”, at least until a better name can be established. So, if you see a really hot guy in a sedan blow by you – it’s not me. But, if Mr. Plain rolls up next to you with a big smile, shoot me a wave, will ya?!
FWIW, the color is called Arizona Beige, but it kinda looks like a darker brown/sand color.
I never would have thought you’d go for the Brown Bull, but I gotta say….It looks good on you! Congratulations on your first brand new car! I love you, baby!
There is something about getting your first brand new car that is just so exciting! Not that I’ve had many. I’m on #2, but we all know why – not by choice. Anyway…I am so excited for you!!! Yay Kev!!!!!
It’s really weird because I’ve had, like, 15 cars in the last five years, but never a new car…until now. Go Brown Bull!
15??!!! Oh wait…I think I might remember a little birdie telling me some stories about your driving….I think???
Woo-Hoo!! I’m excited for you! 😀
Just seeing this — many congrats on the new auto-mo-biiiiile!
