Venom Red

What is Venom Red and goes vroom, vroom?!

MY NEW CAR!!!!

(And really, it doesn't look as morbid as it sounds!)

Yup, folks, I did it. I took the plunge.

Today I said goodbye to my faithful Saturn that I have driven since I was fifteen, and bought a brand spankin' new car!! I am so excited and boy do I love it.

You know what I love the most about it? The new car smell! Oh, it is glorious.

And do you know what I love the least about it? Oh yes, that would be my new car payment.

So, what did I buy, you ask?

A new Nissan Rogue. I am so in love. And floating on cloud nine.

I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking!
The last picture of my very first car!

I'll miss you, sweet car! Adios!
Signing my life away... (at least I had my Diet Coke!)
Oh, look at it. :)
Me and sweet Gabriel (or Gabe as I like to call him!) when everything was officially mine!
The back of my new cute car! (I had to show you all of the sides, didn't I?!)

Yes, Eddy it is. Oh my gosh...did I really just buy this?
About to pull it off the lot!!!
It now has a whopping 24 miles on it.
Excuse the hot mess that was my hair, and the tired smiles. It was a long day!

And, just for the record, I am in no way, shape or form partial to red (or venom) cars, it just so happen that this one was the best deal, so I got it! And yes, Venom Red is the official color of the car. Scary, I know!

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!

Sending hugs your way!

Hey girl:)

I got a newer car a month ago.

My 1996 Ford Contour bit the dust, it developed a crack in the head gasket, and would be about $1500 to fix so my parents found me another car, for $2000, its a blue convertible cavalier 1996....:)

I remember when I bought my new car after graduating from college - that is what made me feel REALLY old! Funny thing is I got a Nissan as well....great choice!

Hope you are still on cloud nine today - what a fun thing for you!!!!

Megan said...

Yay, I am SO very glad you finally got a new car and it is super cute, I must add! We must go for a spin very soon!! Let's take it out this week! Love you!

Megan said...

Ummm, that's weird I did not know "Life in the Fast lane" would come up with my gmail address. Very weird. I do wish I had that blog(that I started long before time) because I would start blogging again.

Loves,
Megan

Just in case you were wondering who that was (which I'm sure you weren't).

Fran said...

Now, that is AWESOME!! I'm loving the pix and the color is oh so cool!

You are an official grown up. Now, it will be time to buy a house or something. :)

Hugs and congrats!!

Ode to Lindsee's Saturn

Oh, sweet Saturn,
We will miss you so
Especially the memories
That we had in you

The Rascal Flatts!
Watermark!
The music never ended
Linds got a new car
I hope you aren't offended

We ate Chick-fil-A in you
We rode where you lead
Even when your interior from the ceiling
Fell onto our head.

The end.

what your God has provided for you

Yep, I've had a blog for a while but I hadn't updated it in so long...until the other day! But hopefully now that I'm almost done with school I'll have more time :) Thanks for commenting!

Lindsee,
I came across your blog from another blog. I really like your blog. I went back and read some of your past post. I think it's great you're reaching out to teen and pre-teen girls. I would love to be able to work with young girls. We are completely surranded by lies. Thanks for the encouragement. Have a great day, and congrads on your car.
In Him,
Kaytlynn
