That didn't work however since I was prone to crashing them into things.<br /><br />When I went to look to buy my first new one, I asked my mom for some help since she should have been a lawyer and can wrangle with the best of them. She told me I was old enough to figure it out for myself and shut me out in the cold. I thought she was just trying to teach me a lesson in independence but now I realize she had probably just had enough of car dealerships - my father swaps his out every two years ;0)The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2463633428173967234.post-61242618219001699142009-10-12T08:24:52.377-05:002009-10-12T08:24:52.377-05:00LOL Men just get soooooo much more excited about ...LOL Men just get soooooo much more excited about these things.

I was excited about my new car - a mini cooper - I had been wanting one for four years. But now that I've had it for almost 2 years, it's just a mode of transportation. And I never clean it, either.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04589606390781637262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2463633428173967234.post-41029330840725849432009-10-11T15:57:26.223-05:002009-10-11T15:57:26.223-05:00I suppose congratulations are in order for Bob.

Enjoy getting a new one because I usually get bored with my car in 2 years. Not that I replace it that frequently. But I'm with you on the cleaning. A new car quickly just becomes a tool to me and I seldom notice it needs a bath.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462135507379897869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2463633428173967234.post-83527491991936893332009-10-10T11:18:26.385-05:002009-10-10T11:18:26.385-05:00I can so relate to this.
