New car

This week we said goodbye to our old car.  We bought this Ford Escort just a couple of weeks after we got married in May of 1998.  We hadn't even found out we were pregnant with our first child yet.  It was brand new when we bought it.  And now that first child is just 3 months away from getting her drivers license.  It was a little sad to say goodbye to this car after 16.5 years of driving it.  It just broke down on us pretty badly a few weeks ago and we needed a reliable car.
And what did we buy?  This adorable red Honda Fit.  It was a week and a half ago that I had been researching good, reliable small cars.  This car rated #2 on ratings.  So we started looking for a used one.  Unfortunately, used ones were hard to find.  And when we did find them, they were priced quite high!  So we decided to just go and get a new one.  That way it would have no negative history, and we could enjoy the much better improvements that the 2015 models have.
