It was meant to be....

.... all the stars were aligned, and it worked out to our benefit.

Most people I'm around everyday know that I have driven a 1998 Mazda Miata for about 7 years.  Jody drove this car for about 3 years before I did.  I love having a Miata, it's fun.  It reminds me of my days racing go-karts.  I like the fact that if the weather is beautiful I can reach up and throw the top back while I'm sitting at a red light.  That always gets a thumbs up from people driving gigantic SUVs.

But the wear and tear were beginning to show on my little car.  It was needing a new paint job, the miles were racking up, the windows wouldn't roll down or if they did I couldn't get them back up. Worst of all the top was starting to fall apart and I was afraid to put it down for fear that it would just disintegrate if I tried to pull it back up.  My baby was tired.

Last week, just before Valentines, Jody sent me an email.  It was from CarMax... and showed a 2008 Mazda Miata!  There was a little message attached to it that said something like "hey, I found this car, if you like it we'll talk about it tonight. Jody"    IF I LIKED IT?  OMG.....   I was sitting in a 1/2 inch of water from the last rain (before the snow) every time I got in my car.  Nah, I'll pass

I'm reading the email, sitting across the living room from him, while he's watching me the whole time to see my reaction.  He's so romantic sneaky. He called the dealership and had it sent up from Houston.

Long story short.... we went over Tuesday night after a 24 hour round and round getting them to make the car 'just right.'

This is our dealer going out to drive my old car away.  If you are in our area and shopping for a car, see Debbie Ambrose at the Plano store.  She's awesome!(Sorry, I didn't have time to set my camera to a night setting, I think she was ready to get rid of us.)

 

This is the way I looked to most people.

And this is the way I look now!!!

I feel a road trip coming on!
