As some of you may know - we have a vehicle that has a tendency to catch fire while it is being driven.. :( - it is a god ol' girl - has 228,000 miles on it and has served us well.)
We just couldn't see continuing to drive it around with gallons of water in the back of it just in case, so..........
We went to the bank Saturday morning and met with a loan officer - he approved us on the spot and told us if we found a new vehicle that day we could just write a check for it and then visit with him on Monday to finalize the paperwork! (Needless to say - we just about shit our pants lol)
After feeling the power of being able to write a check for a vehicle (within our budget of course) - we spent the day going car shopping!!!!
I loved the look on the saleperson's face when during negotiations, we told him we had already been approved by the bank and could write a check for what we wanted if they were able to meet our "demands" lol.
We found just the vehicle we wanted! Forest Green, taupe leather seats that have individual controls for heat - in the seat!!! (that is soooooooo cool), dual heat/cool so if I am cold and he is hot we can have our individual vents do the talking.. lol (I am not sure really how that would work in an enclosed area, but it is neat anyway) It has an awesome sound system... lots of controls on the steering wheel, and more buttons that I have ever seen on a dash.. lol
We used to know how fast we were going by the sound of the car... lol - now we have to watch the speedometer... Anyway - this is what it looks like... :D
It is an Oldsmobile Intrigue... :D
