I had a grandpa car until recently. I didn't mind that it looked that way (Ford Crown Victoria) because it was roomy and comfortable. Then gas prices started to rise and the mileage, at best, hovered at around 20mpg on the highway and significantly less while driving around town.
I traded in that car on Saturday for a Nissan Maxima 3.5 SL. It is a nice car, gets great mileage, and has all kinds of cool features like a heated steering wheel and front seats.
Oldest Daughter came running out when I pulled into the driveway, took one look inside my liquid silver car with black leather interior and said, "Dad! You're such a pimp!"

I love the car and your new blog colours - much easier to read than the dark blue background. My eyes say "Thank you!"
