Update on new car shopping...

The shopping is over and a purchase has been made! I bought a 2006 Copper Red Mazda 3 5 door. It's my first car in 15 years. It feels a lot different than driving a little pickup truck. It's extremely zippy and has a special sport transmission. It also has a 6 disc CD changer and sun roof. The radio is Sirius satellite ready, so I think I'm going to splurge (again) on the tuner and switch over from XM.

The only problem I foresee is trying to figure out how to get my cat Max from sleeping on top of it. He always slept on the hood of my truck and I think he thinks that I just upgraded him to a new bed...
