(I have 3500 miles on it. In 14 months. It's okto rage at me, I know I'm lucky.)
I have zero commute now. Tim's is 1.3 miles. Seriously, if I got a new car, I would put very few miles on it. Which is fine with me.
I like the ruffles.

I know Steph, if that is all I have to complain about the car, it isn't that big a deal. But if I do get a new car, I want all the bells and wistles to make beautiful music.
I'm trying to use my rental car experiences as a chance to test the newer models out. Push starts with no key still feels incredibly strange.

I figure at this rate, I'll need a new car when I'm 60...,

The problem with the XTS's touchscreen console was that whenever I tried to call up the icons along the bottom of the screen, I accidentally hit the stereo volume toggle thing and turned down the stereo. I think if you're designing a dang Cadillac, you should put a little more thought into where things are situated in relation to each other.
It was nice having XM radio, though. Since we had Tim's dad with us, we listened to 40s on 4 the whole way. (Except when I ran errands by myself, when I switched to either 80s on 8 or one of the R&B stations. BABYFACE 4EVAH.)

We had that! It was unnerving at first, but by the time we got home, I felt like a chump using a key for the Echo. Like, what is this Stone Age technology?!?

I haven't graduated to push starts. Still econo model egg car and the Mazda 2 didn't have that. Which I'm fine with. Remote locks and USB was a huge graduation up (last was power windows! Maria is laughing her ass off at me, I know.)

That's totally plan-having, ita. Go you!
Wait, I don't mean to reveal my stupidity, but when you say 0% 5-year loan does that actually mean no interest for the first 5 years? Or is it more like 0% APR?

And there I go, posting after you've already given an explanation because I got a phone call mid-sentence.

Ahahaha, the Echo has manual windows and locks. I love getting a rental just so that I can use the key fob to pop the trunk all the way across the grocery store parking lot. LOVE.

Burrell, I put some money and trade in down, but 0% for the entire loan. So no interest ever. I guess that's APR? I forgot as soon as I needed to.

No interest ever is very appealing. Hrmmm. And just looked up what our car is worth. Bupkis.
