What shall we call it?

As previously posted, Nemo has been in bad shape lately. We got word of the cost to repair the damage and it was way more than we had anticipated. We went back and forth considering options and finally decided that Nemo was going to have to leave us.

Yesterday was a day of mixed emotions as Mike negotiated for a replacement. Mike has had that car since we got married. They gave it a birthday party and a name for heaven's sake! It was paid off a while ago and has provided many a happy memory.

But we are open-minded. Change is good. Even if it is just the color....

May I introduce, the car with no name.

No name doesn't scream out, "LOOK AT ME!" quite like Nemo did, but it is super shiny, newer and faster. And it came with a bike rack which is so cool considering we are such avid bike riders. (not) This is Mike's 4th Mini Cooper purchase! He negotiated a great deal and we are excited to see what this new addition has in store for us.

Great looking wheels! You know you've enjoyed a car when you buy another just like it! I drove my Honda Accord for about 8 or 9 years and just bought another identical car, same color, same everything, just a later model. Congrats on your good deal!
