So this good news comes with some sad news....my 1999 ford explorer sport that I have had for 8 years has sadly gone to a new home. The transmission started slipping and we took it in to be evaluated and yup, the transmission is about to go so our mechanic advised trading it in over replacing the transmission due to the cost and year of vehicle. So we shopped around for great gas mileage four door cars around 15k for the past week and I had my heart set on a nissan sentra (very tiny car) and well let's just say if you are ever car shopping go on the last day of the month!! They have to meet their quota's and will blowout cars on the last day to make numbers. So, we never looked at Altima's cuz they were too pricey for us right now and uhhh we ended up with a 2008 Nissan Altima with only 15 thousand miles on it and Dan talked the right into our price range. It goes to show, stick to your guns and you will get what you want, I never DREAMED we would be getting this car so soon!! It is a really dark gray and check this out....no keys....we push a stinkin button to start it and turn it off, it has a fob that has to be within a certain distance of the vehicle to start it....no keys!! Very cool but hard to get used to!! Oh and did I mention the GREAT gas mileage, 25.5 in the city and 33.8 hwy!! Whoo hoo, that is so great compared to my 14 in the city and 16 on the hwy!
Don't you love our little model with the car too!!
ps. we named it stealey cuz of the steel gray color and cuz we got such a steal on it....lol....don't ask just laugh with us!
