My new wheels

My new ride :)

All it needs now is a grill guard!
i requested the new Texas license plates

I was doing soo good at this blogging & then, nothing!! Okay, so I am back with lots of updates. First, I have a new CAR!! I know yea, new cars!! But also, jeez, bad timing!! Just what I need while still planning & paying for wedding stuff & going into a new financial situation with the fiance. Our big plan was for Drew to get a new car first, after about 6 months because he needs one worse then me. His truck seems to always have something that is about to go wrong & he just doesn't trust it anymore. Well, so much for plans! On my way down to Sinton 8/28 to get some last minute wedding stuff done, my car started acting funny in about Goliad. It sounded like it was really struggling when I pushed the gas & wasn't accelerating the way it should be. Well, it got me all the way to the HS where my mom/brother were & then when I passed up a parking spot, it wouldn't reverse. Then it wouldn't go forward. I turned it off, said a prayer & then was able to get it to drive into a space next to my mom. Well, that was it for her! We got her to Joe's & he confirmed every one's suspicion, transmission completely gone. Well our options were 1. get a new transmission that they could only guarantee for another 2 years or get new. After two years, my car would be 9 years old, & they said it wasn't worth it. So, me & mom went car shopping!! I LOVED my escape & all I wanted was a new one. She was a GREAT car who deserved to go out better than that! That was the only time I'd ever had anything wrong with her, in 7 years!! Sad for my red escape, but I have to admit the new one is SWEET!! It is black w/ black leather interior, has a sync package, sports package & ambient lighting (random I know). For some reason, this one seems more like a he to me. It smells amazing & makes me want to keep this one clean!!
