My New Car

After much investigation and research, we decided to trade in my BMW and buy a new car that would hopefully hold its value more and would be easier to have maintenance done on. As a friend said to me yesterday, 'we went over to the dark side' and bought a Mercedes. It is a C250 sedan and is a dark metal gray with a light gray interior. And pretty!

The pros include riding higher in the driver's seat, great visibility, better sound system, navigation system, easier to get in and out of, enlarged trunk size, more leg room in backseat, more comfortable seats, heated seats, back-up camera, lighter upholstery, and better gas mileage. My car payment is considerably smaller as well. Hopefully this will be my last car. Dan loves driving it too.

The cons, well, it doesn't take turns like the Beemer and it does not accelerate as quickly. Of course the new car is a 4 cylinder and the BMW was a 6. Two very different cars for two different kind of drivers. I am more of a conservative driver, so the new car is better suited.

Today it is going for its first car wash. Ah....
