New Car!
Tonight I bought my first ever new car! I feel like such an adult now. :-)
It's a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid, royal blue metallic in color. Think of a shade of blue that's several shades deeper than Ianto's shirt in this icon but nowhere near navy, and you'll be pretty close. I got every major upgrade that I wanted: grey leather heated seats, moon ( Read more... )

I'm just a teensy bit disappointed in myself for not taking the opportunity to shop around and use it as an excuse to test drive a few cars that I knew I wouldn't be buying, but I wanted to sit in for fannish reasons, like an Audi A4 (Ianto's car in 'Out of Time') or a Range Rover. Or maybe a BMW because I've watched too much Top Gear. *G* But I'd fallen for the Hybrid Camry a while back, and though I did a decent amount of researching other cars, I kinda had a feeling all along that I'd end up with the one I did.
Still thinking of names for the new car. The old one was affectionately/occasionally called 'Greenleaf' because, well, it was dark green, though far from environmentally friendly. My friend thinks my car is female. I am thinking of referring to it as my TARDIS, due to the color. (I also had the wicked thought of calling it 'Lisa', due to it's hybrid components and nature, but didn't want it to meet some sort of unfortunate end...or turn evil!) *G*
