I went and bought the Santa Fe. I picked her up this morning. Oh, she's a beauty. I took her out for a spin, and she drives like a dream. And heated seats! Oh, how nice it is to have a warm bottom on a cold day. ;)

( Here she is! )

I ordered a new Isis plaque for her already (I was so glad to find they still make them! http://www.rof.com/Egyptian-Goddess-Isis-Car-Emblem_p_35.html) so the customization has begun.

Now that it's done and over with, and she's sitting in my driveway, the nervous jitters have (mostly) subsided. The coming snowstorm is getting less and less stormy with every new forecast.

I think I'll take a nap now. ;)

:::Squee!:::

I'm getting the Santa Fe. I don't think I'll do better, and I'm really tired of not having a car. I got the Carfax, talked to my insurance agent, set things in motion. I'll be picking her up Saturday morning, just in time to get buried by another snowstorm. Whee!

I'm equal parts excited and nervous. It's been a few years since I've had a car payment, and even more years since I bought a used car. Everyone I know who's had a Santa Fe has loved it. And, heated seats. I am so looking forward to being warm.

I'll be able to drive myself to Brushwood, and perhaps stop in Geneseo on the way. I won't have to worry every time I go somewhere farther away than the grocery store. I can go to Blue Hills to hike if I want to. Or the Arboretum. I've been limiting myself more and more as more things go wrong with the Elantra.

Freedom! That's what having a reliable vehicle means to me. It's been a while since I've had that feeling. I'm looking forward to it.
