I did it! Got a new car! Job, your opinion was among a few others (my sister’s and her H specifically) that influenced my decision. I have a brand new car! Yes, with that new car smell!!! I drove it to work and back today and I love it!!!! I’m still a bit shaken from realizing that I have a car loan now… I did own my old car for 11 years after paying the loan on it. I’m so used to not having the car payments that this is going to be a bit of a shock, even though I put a significant down payment... BUT…. It is fun to drive! And I’m going to enjoy it!

The odd part was when they asked me about the insurance… and discovered that I have H’s car on it, which is a Toyota… And they gave me $1000 in rebates, because I had a Toyota in the “household”! Can you believe this! I got a discount because I still had H’s car on the same insurance policy! I guess my intuition was/is steering me on the right path, LOL!

I’m driving my old car to the vacation home tomorrow though. I have a fast access pass on it and the Mexican insurance. I hope it can still make this last trip… The good thing is that I know that if something happens with the old car, I have a new one waiting for me at home!

I’ve been in a sort of a fog for the last few days… I still cannot believe that I bought a new car… And… I’m worried that it could close the R door for H… He would be to intimidated… But… I don’t know if I care anymore…
