I mentioned in one of my random blogs that I was in search of a new vehicle, a used one. I was keeping my fingers crossed that it wouldn't take me long to find the one I want and it hasn't!

Yep, at last I have my own wheels again. It’s a used one owner only, and in really great condition. It needs two things done, but very minor that our mechanics shop will do for us at minimum cost. I’ve been driving around in it and its pretty fast for a car that old! I have to actually take my foot off the gas so as not to speed! I’m impressed.

Who says old isn’t good; it is good enough for me! Oh yea, almost forgot to tell you what kind, a Mazda 626 LX 1990. We’ve had a Mazda 929 S before, this one is slightly different. We were looking for a 2000 and up but not only were some prices too high, limited budget, for what they looked like I might as well get tied up in a monthly payment!

The interior is like new too, everything is original. I feel very lucky to find such a great deal! I feel more attachment (in a word) with this one because this time I had the decision of saying yes, and I know a thing or two now being an actual driver.

Well, congrats, Donna! That's pretty dang cool.

It's so nice to finally buy your own car and say, "yeah, that one over there, she may not be perfect, but she's . . . mine."

Haha, thx! Don't remind me! Although the good thing is it's pretty darn good on gas usage so far! Our Toyota is a six cylinder gas guzler, this one is four and pretty good so far!

Thx Rose! I've been to the mall twice already, all for a good cause, my daughter! Only me time was when I went to the gym on Saturday. Now when my husband takes the other car, I won't feel stuck anymore!

Have fun! It's so exciting getting a new car, even if it's not "brand new". It certainly is new to you!!
