Accidents happen..

So I got in an accident.. :( Completely my fault too, unfortunately! I rear ended a truck. I had completely stopped after slamming on my brakes after the 2 cars in front of me did the same, I looked back to make sure Mitch was ok and when I turned back the car was crashing into the truck in front of us! I was wearing slippers and didn't feel my foot come up off the brake. I was so upset! We are just thankful that Mitch and I weren't hurt and that we have really good insurance! So sucky after having such a great driving record for over 10 years! AND I have had this car for over 8 years and hoped to have it at least 1 more year! It was completely paid off, was so nice not to have a payment!! Sadly it was completely totalled because the cost of repair was more than it was worth. So we had to decide what to do! I had always thought that my next car would be a Hyundai too, a more family friendly SUV to be exact. Well after researching and driving a rental SUV(Ford Explorer) I was sold on getting something more pratical and less expensive and I hating having to lift Mitch up that high to get him in! ;) Hey he is HEAVY!! Anyways we punched what we were looking for(more seats, good mileage, under 20k) into a Kelley Blue Book website and it brought up only the Mazda 5 (AKA Micro Mini-van) and I remembered that my girlfriend Fran has one and I had really liked it!! So we checked hers out and searched for used deals online and ended up finding a really great one...
I love that we were able to find such a great deal in Silver!! I prefer it since it stays looking cleaner longer! HA!! It seats 6 and has sliding back doors with windows that roll all the way down! I also LOVE that it has great mini van features but doesn't really look like one! It will definitely be a good "Mom Mobile" for me!
