Ok so I "traded" my cute lil Honda Civic for a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport a few weeks ago. I bought my Civic brand new in 2003 as a graduation present to myself despite what my parents may have thought at the time (they were none too happy with my extravagant purchase). Hell, I dont need anyone to give me cars, I just buy them for myself! haha They should be happy. Nonetheless, that lil Honda served me VERY VERY well over the years until recently I decided I wanted a small SUV just for kicks. I put an ad on Craigslist thinking no one would truly want to actually TRADE for my sedan. Well....wonders to wonders...some college girl emailed me and we made it happen! She had just purchased the Ford used and needed a sedan that was more gas efficient for her commute. We just traded titles, simple as that. I must admit though...I was and still am a bit sad that I let my cute maroon 03 Honda Civic LX go. That car was me, I practically lived in it! I drove it back and forth between Richmond and Charlotte many many times and it was just a great trustworthy car! I do miss it but my new SUV ROCKS my socks off. It is so much fun to drive and makes me feel bigger on the road and its just FUN! Now.....the downside of course, you guessed it....the gas is expensive and it seems I do need to fill er up much more often these days. My commute to work is literally 5 minutes from my house so the gas situation is not that big of a deal really. I have to drive to Pennsylvania for a friend's wedding soon and I'm dreading the gas bill for that trip so we shall see how much that hurts the purse!
Isnt it cute though!??!?
