Last week I spent most of my tax refund on my car on Wednesday. Friday I went out to start my car and it wouldn't. I was done. I called my grandma and asked if she would co-sign a loan for me and then I called Sue.
Sue is a walking Consumer Reports report. So naturally she was my go to girl for the new car buying adventure. And an adventure it was.
My only stipulation was no white! I drove a silver Buick, then a white Ford and then a white Sable. I wanted some variety in my life.
The first car that I drove was a beautiful red Pontiac Vibe. I was so excited because, 1. It was the first car I have ever test driven and 2. It was NOT white! Thankfully Sue was there to save me from myself because I would have signed the papers right then and there.
After the first dealership we ended up at Walser. After a bit of confusion and me standing up for myself (a snippy manager who was really mean, and I told her to go away. Nicely of course). We headed off for their reconditioning center to check out another Pontiac Vibe. On the way there I made the throw away comment of "wouldn't it be cool if it had a remote starter?"
We didn't know anything about this car. Allison, the wonderful saleswoman, went to find it in the lot at the recon center. She came back grinning and was like "it has a remote starter!" I asked what color it was and she paused to which I finished "it's white."
Well, I drove it and immediately fell in love with it. It's cute, it fits a full size bike in the back seat, and it's got some serious power.
So, yes, once again I am driving a white car, but it has a remote starter and I LOVE IT!
