The Right Fit!

So some of you know we've been waiting many months to buy a car - specifically, a yellow 2015 Honda Fit. We've been working with an auto-buying service called Autoland, through our credit union, and the yellow Fits have been trickling into the US very slowly... but last week, a yellow Fit showed up in southern CA, and Aaron snagged it for us. It arrived yesterday at Derek's office!

Here we are with Aaron, the Autoland consultant/car finding guru!


...and with Saul, our loan officer!! Such a nice guy, he makes you want to go get a loan, for anything.


Of course, we couldn't celebrate the new car without acknowledging the faithful, reliable service of the car it's replacing, the 1998 Honda Accord, previously owned by Derek's parents.

We sold the Accord at CarMax, where it got HIT IN ITS PARKING SPACE right after they did the appraisal. Fortunately, the nice people at CarMax honored their appraisal despite the damage. Crazy!!

We're thankful for our newest Honda, and are looking forward to putting tons of miles on it!
