Shannon and I negotiated a sweet deal on a used car. It’s a black Saturn Ion ’06 with low mileage and it’s very shiny. We got 16 years of life out of our last Saturn, and we’re hoping for a similar achievement here.

We did all our research and knew what price we wanted going in there. The car dealerships are desperate, as evidenced by how well we did. We had the car checked out of course, and all systems look good.

Given that we were driving a ’93, the new updates on this car are completely awesome. The radio has text naming the song! Daytime running lights! Awesome gas mileage!

I’m easily pleased. And now, I don’t want to shop for a car again for another 10-16 years.
