Let's Motor!
Finally, after much anticipation, my shiny new MINI is home! I love it!!! It's full of wonderful gadgets and is so cute I could scream. Now The Boy and I are now situated in both of our new cars, or "nerd cars," as our friend Pete puts it.
Saying goodbye to the Jetta was tough. I'm still feeling pretty guilty about parting with it. What can I say? I anthropomorphosize most things in my life. I have issues, I know...
The process of getting the car was a blast. They make you sit in the back and do all the paperwork while they sneak the car into the dealership through the side door. They then put a cover on it so that you can't see it until the unveiling. It was like unwrapping a Christmas present.
They even gave me a congratulatory gift basket full of yummy treats! Our salesguy Scott was really great. I was beside myself, squealing like a little girl. After a runthrough of the gadgets, The Boy and I were ready to motor!
I thought you were getting a purple car, and where the hell are the bonnet stripes!?!?Excellent questions. The car is actually purple, but it's iridescent and reflects bluish. All of the flash pictures we took all caught the blue. I assure you, it is very purple. The guy who does the stripes is on vacation, but they wanted to get the car to me, so he will be coming to my work in the first part of this week to remedy that. Once that is done, I will post more pictures of my new baby, complete with bonnet stripes and alien antenna topper.
