There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Jen,
I was not that brave but thank you for having gusto on my behalf.
Lee,
I was very happy with my Internet only car buying experiences - which helps if you have already taken a test drive (or better yet start the negotiations online then test drive).

Hopefully I'll be driving my current car another 4-5 years until I can get out from under more debt, but I'm thinking I might buy a Mini Cooper the next time around. My only reservation is that I've had plenty of firsthand experience with how durable and safe Chevy's compact models are.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I work in a wealthy suburb of Chicago, so Mercedes are a dime a dozen. Lots of Lexus, Audi, etc. A fair number of Bentleys, Masaratis and Nisan Leafs. Plus the occasional Tesla Model S.
Have you seen the yellow Lamborghini yet? I used to see it a couple times a year up there.
In terms of new cars, I'm enjoying my Cruze.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My buying experience with my first and only brand-new car was shockingly easy, at least my sister thought so. I decided what features I wanted, narrowed the choices down to three, checked out the prices locally and what discounts I could get, test-drove the cheapest one, liked it, bought it on the spot. Happy with it ever since.

My next car will almost definitely be a minivan, because I am a mom and need a mom car.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Accomplishments for the day: Got up early, spent a few hours working at Panera (not for Panera, AT Panera), bought a house, and am now eating spanikopita from the Middle Eastern grocery.
And tomorrow, we get to sleep in.
