What a busy day!

We got so much done today. We finished our Christmas shopping. Normally, we are done by now. However, I think only having one car made it a little harder this year. BUT.........guess what? I found a car today. Oh yes, and it's nothing like I've ever had before. I'm super excited! Yep, a Volkswagen Beetle. I never would have thunk it. We've been looking for something since the day I wrecked, or since the day we found out it was totaled, almost a month. I had a bigger car, so when I even thought about looking at this...I told myself I would not like it and would not be comfortable in it. WOW, was I wrong. It's so roomy inside. I'm a big girl, it's no secret. I always have trouble with the seat belt fitting me. I normally have to order an extension. Well, not in this car, it fits with room to spare. The seat is so comfortable. There's so much head room and leg room. Even the back seat is fine for E. Once he gets to big for the back seat, he can sit in the front. I won't let him set in the front now because of airbags. This isn't the car I'm getting, just a photo from the world wide web. However, mine is red. It had one issue, we told the salesman if he would get that fixed, we would buy the car tomorrow. We didn't offer any money for the man to hold the car, we really didn't think that would be an issue. Well, little did we know, as soon as we left this woman flocked over to it and was all up on it. I hope she decided it wasn't for her. lol When TJ left for work, I asked him to be sure it was still there and to call me as soon as he found out. haha.........It's still there, it's parked in front of the garage now. Good, looks like he's going to fix that problem. Every car I've ever own, the windows have been tinted, weather I've had it done, or it came like that. So, I'll be calling my "window tint man" and setting up an appt. It's my safety. It's what I hide behind. No, I'm not kidding. Let's hope everything goes well, and I drive this car home tomorrow. *HUGS*

Please, don't anyone tell me you have one, and have had years of trouble out of it. lol

  1. My sister and I had a bug when we were in college. It was already 11 years old when we bought it and we used it for 3 more years until I graduated. I don't know about the new ones, but ours, Little Ugly, (yes, we named it) was such a reliable car. It had transmission problems, brake problems, a hole under the battery (they were under the back seat), no heat, no gas guage, no radio, but it still ran well, and never failed to get us where we needed to go. How it ever passed the yearly state inspection I'll never know, but we loved that little ugly car. Hope yours does as well as that one.

  2. Congratulations. I hope it works out for you, I'm not a fan of the Beetle but hear the newer ones are much improved.

  3. I have had VW Beetles off and on forever. My first car was a VW and my current car is a VW convertible with many others in between. I know you will love it as much as I do. Enjoy,

  4. The only standard shift I have ever been able to drive was an Old model Bug. Everyone I know who has one loves it.
    If you get this one I hope you love it and it lasts and lasts for you.

  9. My very first car was a VW bug (1961) and I absolutely loved every minute of driving it. I wish that I still had it. Enjoy, but be careful with that red color. All of the police can spot you!!!!!!

  11. Congrats on the new car ...saw on Facebook that you signed the papers. I'm not sure WHY, but I am not getting notices of new posts on your blog on my Google reader lately. I thought you hadn't posted in several days and came here on my own to see I missed several posts. Hmmm......much easier when I get the automatic notification....wonder why it went "missing" and hope it comes back soon!
