Mitchell...it's been fun.
I have every intention of trading in my 2008 Saturn Aura on Friday for a brand new, shiny, beautiful, 2014 Ford Mustang. His name will be Gabriel.
I got a new job. Shut up.
Today, in order to determine that I wasn't insane, I went and test drove a Mustang. I was at complete ease in that car. It took no time whatsoever to get used to it and I found myself loving it the moment I turned the car on. Only a V6, it still thrummed to life and purred as we drove along.
And, as this is my life, I once again determined the world is tiny.
As things would have it, my sales guy worked at Enterprise when I was in my accident almost a year ago and had driven me from the auto body shop to Enterprise so I could get my rental. He was the guy that helped me get a car within two hours so I could get back to work. We both recognized one another, but couldn't place how or when or where. It was hilarious as we drove along and he asked if he had helped me once before.
By the end of the twenty minute test drive, I was hooked. It wasn't the color I wanted and I had to remind myself that I was pacing myself. I needed to wait. I have to give Mitch a good scrub down before I hand him over. I'm hoping I get 5k for the trade-in. But, seeing as the check engine light just came on, that's a long shot. I'm still praying though. Maybe the light will turn off on Friday when I go to do the deed.
I'm excited about getting a brand new car. I'm stoked to move on and start fresh. I feel like it'll be a good experience for me.
By the way, the whole "new car smell" is totally a thing.
