The Jones Girls

So we arrived at Honda at 11am.   We did some more searching for minivans and crunched numbers with Bernie and Magnum.   One thing that made me go to Honda in the first place is I purchased a new Honda in 1995 at this time of year which is Honda Year End Clearance.  So we were lucky to get a good discount with the year end clearance.   We decided on the vehicle we wanted.    Gulp….  boy have the price of new vehicles gone up!!

We purchased a sparkling new platinum-gold minivan with leather interior, sunroof, navigation with blue tooth phone and voice activation and DVD TV player for the kiddos.    

We purchased an extended warranty for 100,000 miles or 8 years bumper to bumper warranty.     Gotta have that!!

It took Cliff and I about 8 large garbage bags to fill up all of the crap, I mean belongings, that were in our old minivan.  I kissed my sweet pile of junk bye bye.  No more tows, no more worries if I was going to be stranded – I was moving on to bigger and better things – dependability in a new minivan – along with a brand spanking new sparkling CAR PAYMENT – fun!!

I have now joined the ranks of all of the other Odyssey minivan owners in my La Habra Mom’s Club.  I had been so proud of being the owner of the oldest minivan, the one with sliding doors that were not automatic, the one with the air conditioning that didn’t work in the back to cool off the girls in the back, the one who had the purple-blue 90’s paint job with gold spiraled rims from 1998.    I was a bad ass for sure!! LOL!!

Woo hoo!!  I am still trying to figure out the voice activation and all of the bells and whistles.  I should have it all figured out in about a year or so ((wink, wink!!)).
