Miss Priss Does a Blog

I got a new car! No more A/C broke, front window shattered, expired Oklahoma tags from '04, drivers door leaks when it rains Pontiac Sunfire! I had really good luck from my Sunfire. It was 2003 when I bought it and for the 2 years following I loved it. It was my little red ladybug. Then the A/C broke and I lost all respect for the car. It was all down hill from there. I also had amazing luck with the tags. I moved to NC in 2004 and I never got my tags switched. Yes, that's right. For the past 4 years I have been driving around with expired tags and dodging cops cars left and right. It's a wonder of God I never ever got pulled over and I feel like I can brag about it now. :) Tee-hee.

My new car is a 2008 Dodge Caliber. I test drove and looked at Toyota Matrix, Pontiac Vibe and Nissan Versa. They were all so small! It was like driving the Sunfire only with 4 doors. I really wanted a hatchback/wagon/almost crossover vehicle and not a sedan and certainly not an SUV. The whole point of me getting a new car was to prepare for one day having some kiddos, and you need a lot of room for that. The new Dodge, which I have nicknamed the Frankenwagon, gets just as much gas mileage as my Sunfire does and has a lot of cool perks. Like power windows and locks, satellite radio, kick ass stereo system, a huge truck and of course, A/C!! And it's silver, which is one of the colors I wanted. I'm lovin' it.

Here is a picture of the car I got:
