  AW, don't give up on us Tin. We're a pretty nice lot. A bit of crazy here and there but that makes for some interesting reading. I always enjoy your comments and hope you stay. A new car huh? Feels good doesn't it? I've never had a Kia but when I am in Guatemala that's the most popular car on the market and my friends are always happy with them. I love a black car. My favorite car of all time was a black Honda. 39 is a wonderful age. I'm 60 now and think 39 or 40 would be the age I would pick, given the choice. (without teenagers though!, they are all in their 30's now and I like that!) Stick around.

  Hi Tin!  good to see you again.  There is nothing like driving a new car with like 13 miles on it.  Not to mention the new car smell.  I hope your Kia is as good and trouble free as the one I bought in 2003 and still drive.  It isn't much in the way of luxury or speed, but that car starts up each and every day and never gives me trouble.

  Nice to see you posting again...  I do believe it's been a while... 
  
  Innit nice to have a new car?  Don't have to worry about it breaking down, don't have to worry about whether it's going to start or not... 
  
  At least for a while. 
  
  Congrats!!!

  Heh, thanks for the comments and the welcome back guys.
  
  
  I had always swore up and down that I would never buy a new car, but now even with the economy and everything I was just fed up with my old one and I was tired of owning cars greater than ten years old with more than 100,000 miles on them.
  
  
  I don't notice that "new car smell" so much.
