Car

After seven years, thousands of miles, some nickel and diming, interesting memories, and a few roads trips, "Noonen" is officially retired.

I just got a new (used) vehicle this afternoon - an '06 Nissan Sentra. I'm just tickled pink that I have a cd player, keyless entry and air conditioning!!

I'm not crazy about having a car payment (for the first time), but I guess I need to get used to the "American Dream" like mostly everyone else. What are you gonna do? I was able to trade Noonen in for more than I thought, and I was able to save enough for a decent down payment.

I got my money's worth out of Noonen, but as of today, it had no a/c, a broken inside door handle, some leaking oil, a driver's door that would not open from the outside with the key, a window that would not open, and probably some other things I was unaware of.

So.....I deserve this!!!
