bought a new car
11/08/12 at 17:52:24

Well, I got the itch and bought a new car a few days ago. Had been driving a Jeep Liberty Renegade for a couple of years and liked it ok, but I never really loved it. Know what I mean? So we took a drive through a local car lot and I spotted a car that I did fall in love with. Did a little research on it and didn't find much negative, although its only been in production for a couple of years. Went down one evening, took one for a ride, and ended up buying it. After putting a couple hundred miles on it, I have to say its one of the most fun cars I have ever driven.

So, I wondered if anybody had any experience with one?

Of course, I'm very traditional; no creative inspiration. My wife used to be a decorator, and I have always wondered how her ideas just seem to spring from nowhere???

I though that the Juke would have done just as good, but she likes to take a yearly road trip ( girls weekend out).

Said it was like a spaceship with the dash/controls how they were setup. I've never been in one, but like the look of them. Hope you enjoy it.

Tried to listen to your Rickie Lee Jones, cant say as I've heard him, but it won't play on my phone. Have to check it out later. But I'm with Toes - Juke Box Hero, saw Foreigner in concert late 80's, awesome light show and overall concert.

Glad to hear some good comments. I liked the Rogue, but it's a little bigger and isnt nearly as cute as the Juke lol. Its also a little more expensive. It does have a spaceship-like dash. One nice thing (most new cars have now) is the Bluetooth connectivity so I can talk or text without taking my hands off the wheel!! I like "batmobile" I'll have to come up with a name for mine soon!

Hmmm, logical... but I don't really like the implication. Piglet still sounds tiny for me and the bike ... but pigmobile not so much
