Beth: New car smell? Yes, please.
As I told Christian, I thought I would be 50 before I/we owned a genuinely "brand-new" car. But when the right opportunity presents itself, you might as well research the possibilities. And suddenly, here we are!
Unfortunately, this meant that we had to part with the Saturn - Christian's car that famously drove us on our first date.
That was a good, reliable (for the most part) car. I'll miss its quirks and the sound it made coming down the driveway.
But now I have a car with a push-button start and potentially up to 60 miles per gallon, and Christian has a car with a sunroof and air conditioning! Everybody wins!
Seriously, it's surreal. I think I experienced buyer's remorse the minute I parked it at our house. But it's all pretty darn fun, too. And I'm a sucker for that new car smell.
