Finally a new car
A month after our accidnet I finally got a new car .YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a long month this has been
My Matrix was totaled by the insurance companies ( 15.000+ worth of damages ) not to mention how much my medical bills will be when all is said and done and i feel as well as i did the morning of the crash.
We went out this week and bought a 2008 Scion XB
I would have never thought i would be driving a square car, but it is not all that bad . VERY roomy
Strange how an accident changes your criteria on new cars . I went from sporty and cute to how well it rated in front end crash studies
I looked for a car that had one the safest designs,airbags, seatbelts and the best reinforced engine compartment , as well as one we could live with payment wise and that i could stand driving for the next 5 yrs
The Scion ( which still has to be named by Doug & I ) is very roomy inside and of course has a sun roof ( an option i was not giving up on ) a hook up for our MP3 players ( i have finally come into the modern age for music storage and listening, Doug bought me a player yesterday and i think it is the neatest thing ever)
Best of all it has that new car smell and comfy seats ( for anyone who does not know doctors found a stress fracture of my tailbone from the accident , only i could get in a crash and break my Heiney) and lots of leg room for my slowly recooping ankle and leg
It is a fun Burgandy color and has a nifty little key with the remote buit in . One less thing for me to loose
I'll take some photos and pass them on soon
