As you can see, I have a new car. I just love it! I usually have a reason for getting a new car (even if it is only so that I can have cruise control and power windows, right Lynette?), this time's no different. I decided that I needed an all-wheel or 4-wheel drive vehicle for the commute to my school during the winter. If Utah ever canceled school due to snowfall, I probably wouldn't worry about it so much but Utah follows a strict never, never, NEVER cancel school policy (at least along the Wasatch Front). Because of this, I had a great reason to purchase a car: a 2008 Subaru Forrester, L.L. Bean edition. Don't worry, I paid cash for it so I don't have a payment. Isn't it cute? I never really thought that I'd buy a blue car, or a two tone car, but I really like this one.
