New Car!

Isn't she gorgeous?  (the car, not me... PS after this picture I realized that outfit is not flattering.  That shirt obviously shrunk!)  The bro took a half-day at work yesterday {it must be nice to be able to leave whenever you want} and we went to the dealership around 1:00.  This was the easiest process ever.  If you're in the market for a new car, find a dealership with salesmen on salary and hassle-free pricing.  There was no negotiating.  I figured I would have to negotiate the price of my trade-in, but they gave me more than I expected upfront.  I was blown away!!  If anyone is in Virginia, check out Bill Britt Mazda in Fredericksburg!

The car is a 2014 Mazda Touring CX-5.  This model is in the middle... it's not stripped, but it doesn't have every option.  It does have fog lights, push button start, touch screen HD radio, back up camera, moon roof, Bose speakers... I can't think of what else.

One of the salesmen asked if I had looked at any other SUVs, and I mentioned the new RAV4.  He said a lot of people had come to look at the CX-5 intending to buy the RAV4 but changed their minds after driving the CX-5.  Toyota can't compete with this one!

I'm going to have an early dinner with the brother and his lady friend and head back to NC tonight.  I have a ton of grading to do when I get back!
