Big event for me!  I got my new car….finally.  H decided to buy out the Acadia lease and drive it himself.  Good move on his part, he needed a nice car.  His POS Saturn just keeps having stuff happen to it (not to mention the deer hitting it in June).  The original plan was for me to keep driving the Acadia, then in the fall he would buy me a new car.  The Acadia is in excellent condition (if you ignore the repainted scratches Jackson and Shelby made on the side with their bikes and the tiny dent on the hatch where H put the garage door down while it was up….notice NONE of these things were done by ME)!

So we moved up getting my car and here it is, A brand spanking new Buick Enclave….
H says every Senior Citizen will be envious of my BUICK… He’s so funny……but I looked at this car when we leased the Acadia 3 years ago and wanted one….they were so new in 2007 that I couldn’t even get one to test drive at that time…they literally flew off the lots.  It is the nicest car we’ve had since the Lexus (which I personally hated).  It’s a happy white color (as opposed to the sad brown color so many drive around here).  It’s a dream ride, quiet, smooth and luxurious… and yesssss, it has that new car smell.  The layout of the seats is exactly like the Acadia which has worked so well with 3 kids.  It has that nifty remote start Onstar and XM Radio, IPod ready. 

As you can see Jackson fell in love with the car too!

Got the car on Sat. and it was love at first sight for both of us!  It’s kind of hard to hug a car as you can see below, but I gave it the old college try.   I’d better love it as H says I’m driving it for the next 10 years…yeah right…….that remains to be seen.  I’m loving it for now!
