Isn't She Lovely and Say Goodbye to Hollywood

We did it!!! Mission Accomplished!! :) Last night we spent, oh, I don't know, 8 hours at the dealership and got ourselves a brand spanking new 2009 Ford Fusion. We feel really good about the deal we got - a tremendous discount through IBM (woot!) and decent rebate incentives. We got it at Crossroads Ford in Cary, which we'd highly recommend. We just need to find some obnoxious bumper sticker about BUYING AMERICAN :)

So, here are some pictures. I don't have a fancy blog with music, but if you're sitting at home and have access to Stevie Wonder's Isn't She Lovely, that'd make a great soundtrack for the Fusion's first photo shoot.

Isn't she lovely?

Our decked out car... Scott convinced me that black leather isn't just for boys. And we also have Sync, so we can call people just by speaking commands. Just have to figure out how to work that... And we have satellite radio till Christmas.
So shiny and new! It smells great too!

The tires. It's a man thing. I don't even have to say this, but Scott took this picture :)

The one where Scott plays Vanna White. He has the sweet new ride at work today. I think I kind of rocked his world this morning when I suggested wearing a long sleeved button down - he was like "no, it's too hot" and I was all like "Oh snap, don't forget you have A/C on the way to and from work now!" So... a whole new world of possibilities!

And now for the tribute to the Jeep. I'm going to ask you to cut off Stevie Wonder and put on some Green Day Good Riddance (The Time of your Life). Or, if you don't have that, I think Say Goodbye to Hollywood by Billy Joel would also work.

Sad face...

We scrubbed that thing HARD on Sunday to make it all shiny and non-junky looking.

AHHH, the Jeep is totally gonna run you over!

Sniff, sniff...no longer a two Jeep household. (PS, I think we're about to spend a lot less on gas!)

Since we had a hard and a soft top, we got to CRAM all of it in the back seat. And Smarty liked to chill with it inside.

Another one with Scott saying goodbye.

For what it's worth,
It was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life.
-Green Day

Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again
Say goodbye to Hollywood,
Say goodbye my baby.
-Billy Joel
