It is so choice...

I highly recommend picking one up, if you have the means. Okay, a brief synopsis: the insurance company informed us this past Tuesday that they were totaling the Stratus. Apparently it costs upwards of $5K just to replace the airbags and sensors that set them off, and the Stratus was not even close to being worth that much so it wasn't a huge shocker. They said we would get $3K for it, which we were extremely happy with considering it was badly dented in the back, had power nothing and didn't even have working a/c. So after much heated debate, we decided on the Honda CR-V and have been searching for and haggling over one for the last several days. We went and picked it up today and it's SO AWESOME!!! It's dark blue with grey interior; we sprung for the nicer model so it also has a power sunroof, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, an in-dash 6 disc CD changer and this cool storage shelf thing in the trunk. We got a really good deal on it, even though we had to drive all the way to Alexandria to get it. Oh well, it was worth it!!! Paul is still a little sad that the Stratus is gone, but is excited to have a/c on the commute now. I went and scrubbed down the Neon for him tonight so he has a clean car to drive to work on Monday. I think it looks pretty darn good! The poor thing is pretty beat up on the outside (just a bunch of little dings and scratches) but it still runs just fine! Who'd have thunk it?!

Here are some pictures of our sweet new wheels. Just don't start asking us for rides...
