Yep... Happy Easter Sunday, folks!
I'm posting this late on "Saturday" night because I'm busting with the news...
GUESS WHO BOUGHT A NEW CAR (yesterday, technically) ON SATURDAY?
YES...! US...!
Last week we received a free $10 Kohl's marketing outreach gift card in the mail...
(Bear with me! I'll get back to the new car in a moment!)
...good through this (now past) Saturday. So... today... we went out to find something to use it on rather than let it expire and go to waste.
Anyway... I found a clearance polo shirt at the Kohl's in Ramsey, NJ for $12 and so with no sales tax on clothing in NJ... I ended up getting a (originally priced) $36 shirt for $2.
Well, folks... I was so damned happy with my bargain that I said "what the hell" and the next thing you know we were at the Hyundai dealership a mile up the road trading in Sammie, our (now former) 2011 Sonata 2.0T with 58,649 miles (with the bumper-to-bumper warranty set to expire at 60K) for a brand spanking new 2014 Sonata 2.0T.
(Stephanie the Sonata... "Steffi" for short!)
In all seriousness, we had been talking about perhaps looking into turning Sammie in if we could get a good enough deal, but on the other hand, today's actual buy can be looked upon as an "impulse purchase."
(*GUFFAW*)
Yep... I know... Bill Barker, the guy who researches every purchase beyond pocket change to death "impulse purchasing" a friggin' new car...
(*STILL LAUGHING*)
I tell ya... I crack myself up...!!!
Anyway... that's my car story I couldn't wait till morning to share!
Hopefully I'll get a chance to post an actual newsbite or two tomorrow, but if I don't get around to it... I ask your forgiveness in advance.
(*WINK*)
Have a GREAT EASTER everyone! I know I will!
