Well, it finally happened... after riding Test Track 2.0 in March we poked around in the postshow area for awhile and, as usual, checked out some of the cars. DS7 always loves to sit in the driver seat in as many as possible and we usually oblige. If there is a Camaro, DH wants to be in it. Me... I just kind of wander and follow them. Sometimes I sit in a few cars and think "hmm ok this is nice" but usually that's about it.
This trip however, there was this adorable little green car that I just had to check out. Upon closer inspection it was a new model (for Chevy - in the states) called a Spark. I immediately fell in love and couldn't get over how cool the interior was. When we left for home, it kind of kept popping into my head but we already had two cars that were running fine and had no desire (or credit lol) to buy a new one.
Fast forward a couple months to Memorial Day when we decide to sell one of our two Mini Coopers. My husband isn't working and paying a car payment for a vehicle to sit in the drive way 99.9% of the time just didn't make sense. So... we did it. And... as seems typical whenever we make a "good" decision like that... 2 months later our one remaining Mini Cooper has a severe engine failure. We were faced with a choice... drop around $5k to fix it or attempt to trade it in on a new car. New car wins out... but what ever are we going to buy?
I betcha you can guess what is now sitting in my drive way can't ya?
Her name is either "Creeper" (after the Minecraft baddy) or Booger (depending on who you ask in our house lol).
So here's my question to all of you... anyone else out there end up buying a car after seeing it in the Test Track postshow area?
