Pixie's New Ride
We had the Element cleaned out a few weeks ago, in case we wanted to trade it in. I have wanted the new CR-V for a while now. They totaly re-designed it and I've always wanted a more "fancy" vehicle and I have to say I was sad to see my Element go, it's been a very nice car. However I was very excited when sitting in my new car! I havn't driven it yet, I was too tired on the way home form the dealership so I might not get to drive it until work monday.
So we went today with the intent to test-drive and we had our numbers in hand but would have been perfectly okay leaving without a new vehicle (easier said then done right?) and at first it seemed they didn't even have the one I wanted availible, but a person left to come back and buy it later. It was one of only 2 left that was the trim level I wanted and the other had a light brown interior which I think shows too much dirt. The navigation system ones sell out pretty fast so they had like 20 on the lot but only 2 with navigation, a black one and a blue one. This was good because I wanted a black or blue one, but I wanted a dark interior and only the blue one had that.
It has leather, I am in love! It has heated seats, a rear camera and all kinds of other neat little things I like. I'm a car girl, just like my dad. I love cars, and I really love new cars. I also love Honda's and so does my husband. So yeah wow, I can't believe we got a new car today. Even though we went to look I'm still sort of in disbalief.
Work was crazy last week and I was too tired to knit, but I plan to get in lots of knitting tommorow as I'm pretty tired now from all the goings on. I am also re-reading the Deathly Hallows book, but nice and slow this time so I am enjoying it much more.

Congrats on the new car! I love the new CR-V and have been contemplating trading in my Civic for one. Please let me know if you feel it's plenty roomy, etc.
Hope you are doing well and surviving the summer pregnancy thing. It's been a bit rough for me, but I overall feel pretty good. Wish I could sleep through the night like I could just a week ago!!!

Nice new wheels! You will love those heated seats, especially after a long day at work! It may be hot outside, but those seats just seemed to relax me on the ride home. Sadly, I don't have my Odyssey any longer, I do miss those seats!

Oh wow! That's so purdy. I love Honda cars, too.

Congratulations! I actually had one of the first CR-Vs when they had only been around a few months, and I just loved it. My current car (a Volvo S60) is almost 6 years old an I'm definitely thinking about taking a look at those new CR-Vs . . . you know, just because! I really loved that car . . . Good luck with yours!!
