Well, as the saying goes: new to me.
It’s a 2009 Kia Optima that gets me out of the million dollar a month rental car I’ve been driving to and from my writing assignment everyday. It’s a nice replacement for my 2008 Toyota Highlander that I lost in a perfect storm of recession layoffs and hubris. There’s an outlet for my iPod, a tray for my iPhone, there is a hook below the glove compartment on which to hang my purse. Suck on that, double-dip recession. I’m back.
Oh, wait. So is the hubris, looks like. Let me rephrase: I’m extremely grateful for the second chance, both for financing this car and for providing transportation for my children. Thanks to Bob at Honda of Clear Lake, my dad’s “second signature” and Q my constant encourager who is proud of me even during my myriad fuck-ups. I am delighted that Kia thought enough of me to place a sturdy hook near the passenger seat designed for my bag so I no longer have to search the backseat for it once I’ve arrived at my destination.
Very humbly:

Congrats on the car. Keep it smelling nice, I can advise you on a lovely candle to place under the seat ( UNLIT!!)
I am going to come out and say it: Momma’s post was pretty awesome. As were all others. There!
Also I dedicate this avatar to Kiddothings. She knows why 🙂
Okay, there’s Mountain Momma and Momma Teacher Lady. You don’t have to tell me which one you meant if you don’t want to. 🙂
Ooooh, secret code for Kiddothings. I love it.
Erika HELP! it is not registering my votes.
I reset the stupid code. Can you try again? If it continues fucking up, email me your choices, and I’ll register them for you. I hate this linkup program.

Congrats on the new car! I love the smell of a new car too…..well actually I love a new car.
I just hate the car buying process. Why so hard, car buying process?

I love that you used the word hubris. Twice!! We are also having want-to-buy-the-car-but why-didn’t-you-tell-me-about-that-before trouble. I am trying very hard to finish my next post by this week’s deadline but I’m not sure I can make it!!! I will do my best…
Looks like it’s probably not going to happen. Damn Blogger and its “monthly issues”!!
KI, you’ll soon learn I am a vocabulary whore. I even pay for a Visual Thesaurus subscription just so I can find the perfect words for heavy duty engine oils.
Good luck with getting your blog back online. Damn Blogger.

Thanks, Linda! I took my mom to the dealership today, and she was pleased with the terms. I take delivery of my new baby tomorrow!

I want your new car please. Thank you in advance!
You can have it once I’m booked and arraigned on killing my sales team. They left out a few details, and I’m thinking of leaving the deal on the table. Argh!!

Sweet! Love new cars. So much fun. And I love Kia’s. I have one myself 🙂
Did I mention there’s a jack for my iPod and a tray for my iPhone? I’m excited!
