Rav4 Genie Included

You know how I've mentioned before what a POS my car is? To be fair, it has made it to 199,000 miles and change, is 13 years old, and has had a good run. However, it currently has a gas leak, decides to start only half of the time, and drives like a tractor. What I'm saying is that it has reached the end of it's time on this earth.

We have been casually looking for cars for the past 6 months or so, in the event that the car exploded mid-operation. Now that it is acting up worse than a menstruating lady, we got a lot more serious about the search.

Last night we found the winner!

We got a 2010 Toyota Rav4, complete with the Rav4 Genie. It even has the spare tire on the back so in the event of the Rav4 Genie coming to grant us a wish... I'd obviously wish for the old spare tire to go, and won't care if the squirrels laugh at me. (For those of you that know the commercial I am referring to).

We get to pick it up tonight, so I'm sure I'll take about 238 pictures of Harrison's maiden voyage. I'm pretty much in love.

This weekend is supposed to be gorgeous weather, so my plan is to take Harrison to the zoo. He has been once before, but slept almost the entire time, and managed only to wake up in time to witness the tortoise sex. One day, we will remind him of his first trip to the zoo, complete with tortoises getting their freak on.

I'm hoping this trip will be slightly more exciting than pushing a conked out baby around in a stroller. Although, Harrison is known to never show any emotions in events such as these, so I'm guessing we will just pushing a stoic baby in a stroller. I'll call it an improvement.

This post is severely lacking content, but I was just so excited about the new car that I felt compelled to share, and make you all jealous.

What are your plans for the gorgeous weather?

  1. You know everyone down in the city always comments how they're so glad they don't have to have a car anymore...but I REALLY miss having one! I'm like really jealous of this post.

    Also, a small portion of wanting to go to alumni is making the 3.5 hour car journey out there because I haven't driven in 6+ months. Weird? Maybe, but I'm super jealous of your pretty new ride.

  2. WAHOO!!! I have a CR-V which is basically the same thing as the RAV-4, so I'm sure you'll love it as much as I love mine.

  3. Hahaha I can't wait to see stoic Harrison at the zoo. But let's be honest, whether he likes it or not, we know you will. Congrats on the car! Can't wait to see it in person in one week!

  4. Yay!!! New mom car ;-) lol. we decided to hang onto my SUV for a bit longer, it has a lot of miles but no car payment is better than one at this point and an SUV seems like it will be helpful to have for a first time mom. Anywho, congrats on the new ride!!!

  5. I have been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made
    good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

  7. Awesome car you got right there! Apart from actually having a car that starts when you want it to, I'm sure you appreciate how you can lug all of Harrison's stuff for when you take him out to places. -Prince @ Lexus of Ann Arbor

  8. I am really impressed with your writing skills and
    also with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it
    yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it's
    rare to see a great blog like this one these days.

  9. Remember, tolerance is essential, therefore be sure to have plenty of document and pen to work well with.
