New car!!

What's more adult than purchasing your first brand new car? winning it on the Price is Right, of course, but since that's not going to happen without a trip to Burbank, CA, we bought our own! Joe really wanted to get a Mazda 3, which looked like a good idea when we were visiting our friend Pierre in Quebec City over the summer. He had a baby and fit a car seat in it, so we thought we'd be good with it, too. Upon second glance, the 'trunk' look microscopic. The Kia wasn't much better, so we settled on the Hyundai Elantra Touring... the sister car to the 2012 Car of the Year! It's great! it's not much bigger than the Prizm, but it has more head room, a bigger back seat and properly functioning shocks. And it's quiet.... sooooo quiet compared to the rattlings of the Prizm.
