New Car

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

Yesterday we bought a new car. We only have one here in San Diego, so when I go to work, Joy is left home and not able to easily drive around. When I’m working such long hours, I worry about her at home. Also, when she drives down into the city to the Chinese grocery store, I worry that if something happened, I can’t go help her.

We actually began the search several weeks ago. We’ve had a terrible time with dealers. Whenever we find a car we like, the dealer never wants to make a deal. We’ve had a few lie to us and most are sleazy. And, whenever we liked the sales person, they didn’t have a car we liked. Well, last night we had finished trying to negotiate a Mazda 6 and decided to check the Nisson dealer before we went home and we found a car that we both really liked. It’s a Mitsubishi Outlander, a cross-over between a car and an SUV. We both immediatly fell in love. We were even more amazed to hear it was advertised at a really good price. We negotiated for an even better price and at 1:00am we left the lot with a new car!

It’s a great car with lots of features like heated seats, alloy wheels, AWD, and an Infinity sound system. We researched the car on the internet and all the people who say the bought one love it. I like it because it handles like a car, but is up high like an SUV. Joy likes it because it had lots of room inside and gets good gas mileage.

Mission Bay Park

Today we went for a bicycle ride around Mission Bay Park. It’s an inlet from the ocean with beaches and bicycle paths. Peep tried the new basket that Mom and VJ sent us. She likes it!
