Bonnie's New Bud

So we got a babysitter last night to do some car browsing and eat in Milwaukee. Instead, we decided to get a Chrysler Pacifica and eat fast food in Racine. Although the night didn't turn out exactly as we had planned, we got an awesome deal and a sweet new ride.

Car shopping at the end of the month and without the scent of desperation apparently is the magic key. By trading in our Subaru, with our Chrysler employee discount (long story) and a $4,000 rebate, we were able to get our new car for a lower monthly payment than we are paying now and it will be paid off around the same time our Subaru was even due to be paid off. It worked perfectly into our new debt reduction plan.

How can you say no that THAT?

And best part of all, we have our three rows of seats now and are ready for carpools and visitors. You no longer have to sit sandwiched between the kids, Jen.

So here's to the first American made car we've ever purchased (it may be American made, but it was German designed)!

And to our Bonneville's new friend. I mean how can you not love a car endorsed by Celine Dion?

And to being able to avoid the minivan (I KNOW you all love your vans so no retorts needed)!

We are formulating a reason to drive it today. I think we're headed out for a fun day of post office errands and to buy a shoe rack.
