I’ll be brief, but suffice it to say that buying a new car isn’t really my favorite thing. \u00a0We visited two dealerships on Sunday, three on Monday, one on Tuesday and two on Wednesday. \u00a0We would have purchased the car (a 2009 Honda Fit Sport<\/a> with 76555 miles) on Wednesday, but our mechanic didn’t have any available openings till Friday. \u00a0He checked it out, told us it was good and we bought it. \u00a0I just want to give a shout out to David at Galpin Ford<\/a>\u00a0for a very good buying experience. \u00a0Very low pressure and helpful. \u00a0I would also like to thank Darrel at Jim’s Alignment & Brakes<\/a> for looking at the car. \u00a0Both guys were very helpful.<\/p>\n

The flood has nothing to do with the car other than it happened Thursday evening in Mayer. \u00a0In case you are wondering that is the same Mayer that was evacuated because of a forest fire earlier this month. \u00a0No one was hurt, so that is good.<\/p>\n

We had a good week in AZ, but would have liked to spend more time with family and less time car shopping. \u00a0I guess it is what it is. \u00a0Ashely and I are not ready for this work week to start and are rather tired.<\/p>\n
