I...I traded my Toyota Yaris. You know, the car that I was going to have paid off in another year. And after that I'd planned to funnel the money I would have used for the payment onto my student loans. In my plans, I'm a responsible, frugal adult.
So of course I went and traded my car today. And got a Mini Cooper--you know, the car I couldn't afford.
It actually wasn't all that expensive. I got a great trade-in and it was a hail-damaged car (although repaired) so it was cheaper than it would have been ordinarily. My payment only went up about $15. Um, with a six-year note.
But it's beautiful. It's exactly what I wanted. And I am feeling very, very smug.
Green, with white racing stripes. Hell yeah.

But it's sooooo cute. And I don't use the word cute. Ever.
But it is.
I'm jealous. (congrats on the purchase)
It pegs into the red on the cuteometer. :)
Well Done Girl! Life is too short and most importantly, you are worth it...:-)
Happy Safe Driving, K.C
It's lovely... Do we have a name yet?
And at least your mid-life crisis doesn't involve leather trousers.
Looks good on ya, Kate!

LOL at Cate's 'leather trouser' remark.
w00t!
Jarmara--Thanks! I'm about to go for a drive right now. :)
Cate--I wouldn't want to frighten anyone.
Alan--Anything deleted I always figure was a mistake anyway. :)
Michael--w00t indeed!
Sweet! Has the engine fallen out yet? Apparently they do that you know.
Two words: four year unlimited warranty. That's four words; I seem to have lost my ability to reason from the CUTE.
Woot!
Very cool!
Natalie and Danielle--Thanks!
