…because we’re getting a red car. Actually all the boys are going to go nuts. Mike’s favorite color is red. Robbie’s favorite color is orange, but only because red was already taken. And of course you can’t share a fave color — what are we, animals?
The lease on our minivan is up on Thursday, so we dragged everyone out to the car lot to check out what they had left from the 2006 models now that the 2007s are coming out next week. You can get your car for several thousands off the sticker price that way, but you don’t get a lot of choices. These are the 3 they had left:
The blue one would have needed some stuff added to it to be the one we wanted, and the beige one was fugly, so here it is, the new Auto de Plain:
Well, for the next 36 months at least!
I’m officially jealous.
(only a parent could be jealous of someone getting a minivan…so sick)
Red is my favorite color too. I just traded my brownish minivan for a red Prius. I could not be happier.
DD — Before we got our current car I was ashamed to own a minivan, but after having it just a few days I loved it so much that I no longer cared what people thought! The one we’re getting is the same as the one we have, so it is less exciting now, but ‘new’ is always nice.
Wendy — Someone down the street from us has a red Prius. They look nice! We’ve considered getting one as our second car, but we’ll likely end up with something over 5 years old instead ;)
Nice! We’re on the last 15 payments on our car…..
Dude I want a mini van.
I was mortified when we got our first one, but they are just so HANDY that I love mine. (Yes, I know that’s sad.)
It’s like Lightening McQueen! Ka-POW! Ka-CHOW!
