Who Cries Over A New Lexus?

Me. I do.

I have had this debacle going on for some time now. I need a new car. I mean, like I need a whole in the left cranial. Seriously, though. This terrain is HILL-Y, yo. And though my car is a beast, the bigger they are the harder they fall. The Beast didn't have 4 wheel drive*, and I was scared shitless each and every time I hop into that bad boy that I will come across some snow and lose traction and slide to an icy bloody death with my forehead bashed through. Causing a closed casket since the embellished 'Ford' script won't play well into my Pretty In Pink burial theme.

So, I have test driven each and every SUV on the market, and still was madly in love with the car I had. Don't get me going about how the fumes are fucking up my carbon footprint. That much? I know. But that is my signature, small chick with a big car look I go for.

And you know this whole economy crisis? It's real, folks. So real. And when you start up about 6.9 on preferred credit, I start walking.out.the.door. And when your own car company can't offer a buy out because the vehicle has no value, you? Are fucked.

And when the ONLY company to offer to buy the itty-bitty buyout is a luxury automaker, you shrug and say with a deeeeeep sigh, 'Fiiiinnnnneee......I'll drive this amazing piece of automotive swankiness...... '

I will learn to love the newness my new ride. I will learn to love all the neatness of cool gadgets. I will learn to get over that I can't always be designated car pool because I don't have 8 seats.


What I will never ever cry over again is my ASS frozen to the freezing leather seats.*



*there is NO NEED for heated seats or 4x4 in Texas, where the aforementioned car was purchased.

*ahem*

This was me last year and I *sniffed* at the heated leather seats. I actually said, "I live in Corpus.. no one in Corpus needs heated leather seats"

I have since eaten my words and fallen in love.

It can happen. promise.

Enjoy and yippeeeeeeeeeeee

Oh, yeah. Totally sucks to be you.

Get you about the heated seats though. I'm in NH and NEED them in the winter. I still use them all other seasons though. I'll never own a car without heated seats...or a DVD player.

I feel ya' girl--we have wanted to get rid of my car for months now, but ny SUV has lost value HORRIBLY and the rates are ridiculous for even perfect credit. I'll bet you look great in that Lexus!

Hmmm, who knew a recession would be the best time to trade UP on your vehicle? I'm going to have to go talk some sense into my hubby.... maybe I can finally get that Infinity hot-mom-mobile that I've had my eye on for the past few years. Goodbye, Mom-Bomb! Hell-ooooo, Mom-Bombshell!

Am I supposed to feel sorry for you? I'm so confused?

Heated seats...not necessary here, either. Unless of course, they melt off butt fat!

I love my mother's Lexus SUV and drive it whenever given the chance - only I have to be in it ALONE. It's not big enough for my two ginormous boys and my 6'5" husband, which is a good thing.
