I have 3 new friends: Stations Lucy, Fred, and Ethel. I think I like most about the new car we bought over labor day weekend is the
XM stereo. I have fallen in love with 3 alternative stations that remind me of 99x in
Atlanta. I have heard songs from bands l used to love in my days of youth- shout out to new order, the smiths,
depeche mode, and death cab for cutie.
Bill has been on me all summer to go test drive some possible replacements since my Accord is now almost 9 years with a triple cracked
windshield and a sound under the car that reminds me of dragging a dead body. We had decided on a 2
nd CVR as we love bill's and it's a great size for us with
Ben and maybe a 2
nd little v. I test drove one on the
Florida trip, and bill did when I got home. We considered the green or silver (not bill's infamous "
fecal mist" color that he currently has), but didn't want a cream interior. So we went with the
red with gray
leather interior. It has a navigation system,
ipod hook up, and media card that I can load up from my computer.
What is really funny is that my friend Elizabeth has the same car. When she told me she had bought the exact same car we took were considering, I said that this is
evidence we were
meant to be friends. Ben is still calling the new car, "
katie car, where
katie"?
I really
love this car and nothing was better when I was on the way to chapel hill last
Wednesday that driving with the sunroof open, music blaring like I was 18, and driving too fast on the interstate like
pre-
ben days. Sweet!
