My new "baby"


One of the many things that has kept me crazy busy lately is that my car lease is up at the end of this month. So, I've spent the last couple of days (now that the kids are back in school) doing lots of research and test drives and such. I thought I had it narrowed down to three options: buying my 2005 Pathfinder, buying a new 2008 Pathfinder, or buying a GMC Acadia. The Acadia was recommended to me by a couple of friends, but when I saw it in person, there were a few things about it that I wasn't 100% thrilled with. I also read some reviews online that made me widen my search a bit.

Last night, I finally settled on a 2008 Mazda CX-9. It has all of the features I was looking for--third row seats, Navigation system, power everything--and the financing deal was excellent. So, we said goodbye to the Pathfinder, and hello to the Zoom-zoom-zoom.

Ain't it purty?

Nice new ride! I think all you need is a Steelers Logo on one side and a Pirates on the other.

I can help you with you that. Just let me know!

Thanks, guys. It handles really well. And, I managed to fit the darn thing in my garage. It's a miracle!
