It was funny though...since when I was signing the paperwork, the man was trying to sell an additional warranty on top of the one that already comes with the car. I declined his offer and he looked so offended. His response..."Why?" I told him I didn't want it...and he kept arguing with me! I wanted to ask him if this car was going to spontaneously combust...he made it sound like my car was on bought time...as though it could die at any moment. I hate to tell him...it's the newest car I've ever driven. I grew up driving an 1987 Corolla, manual no less. I think I can handle this much newer model that is in flawless condition! ;-)
Well...I had to go car shopping again. My friend was kind enough to give up her Saturday and Sunday to come with me and help me choose another car. Over the past few months, I've learned quite a bit about cars! Anyway, I had worked all night from Friday to Saturday, went home, workout out, and then went car shopping. As I look back on it, it perhaps was not the best idea since I had hardly even slept the night before. I was so tired! Saturday was full of mostly unsuccessful car shopping. We found a nice Honda Fit, but I was so tired and worn out, and hadn't totally decided on it, so we ended up leaving. We went back the next day, and the Honda had been sold. That was somewhat disappointing since car-shopping is totally exhausting. We checked out two additional places and found a 2007 Toyota Corolla! It is in great condition and is almost identical to the car I used to drive while at university. I love it! So...after a full and exhausting weekend, I drove home in a my new car! Feeling very thankful at this point!

Did you know that diesel cars now account for more than half of new car registrations in Britain? Diesel vehicle technology has advanced tremendously over the past decade. Today's diesel cars are clean, quiet, and refined enough for any driver.
