A new car!
My parents told me that they were going car shopping yesterday, but I honestly wasn’t thinking that they would actually roll into our garage with a new car. My parents aren’t people who usually just go out and buy things; they usually have to think about buying it for a few days, weeks even! So, at around 7 PM yesterday, I hear the garage door open and a foreign sound—the quiet purr of a new car. I’m used to hearing the huge thunderous roaring of my mom’s old Volvo 850, so this came across as a shock to me.
So, I dash downstairs and thrust open the door to the garage and feast my eyes upon the new car. It’s a Lexus RX *insert model numbers* Hybrid. Apparently, it was the last of its kind at the car dealer my parents went to and the only color they had was white, so they just went with that (I would have preferred a darker color, but white is good too). I open the door of the car, and my nose is immediately struck with that new car smell. Sitting myself down inside the car, I see that it has a sun roof/moon roof (depending on what time of day), GPS (my family is notorious for getting lost), a DVD player, and more features that we don’t even know about yet. Did I mention that it’s a hybrid?
After that, my parents took me out to dinner (in the new car), and I have to say… it’s a totally different experience than the old Volvo. It’s smooth, comfortable, and less nauseating. I usually get incredibly car sick on car rides, even the shortest ones, but I didn’t feel any of that in this car. We should have bought this car before going down to San Diego… then I wouldn’t have suffered for eight long hours. I had my new Coldplay CD in hand, and I stuck it into the CD player and I wasn’t expecting the surround sound… but then my mom ejected the CD because she thought it as too distracting.
