New car to the family

Well, my wife wanted something reliable and bigger than her '07 vert Beetle so she did her own research and made her own deal. She even made them throw in and install roof racks and a trailer hitch! Paid $25,261 cash/tags/tax etc for this http://stevensonmazda.com/Wilmington/For-Sale/New/Mazda/CX-7/2011-i-Touring-Black-SUV/6354305/

She is happy and I'm happy. So we shall see how it is this weekend, heading to Savannah in it.

It's actually quite nice. Brakes are very good on the car and it handles nicely.

Mazda's available colors are pretty poor, IMO. At least in a Mazda5, you can't get a light-ish color exterior with a non-black interior. FAIL.

I have a black car with black interior and no trees near my house as well. However mine came equipped with this switch that reads "A/C" that seems to take car of the problem pretty quick.

Liking it thus far. First tank 100% city netted 22.9mpg's. Washed it yesterday for first time, I loathe how dealerships slap their sticker on the car when you aren't looking. :soap:

Had to get that crap off there ASAP.
