Our new car!

My post today is not about a running thought, but I am writing about important news for Jéssica and me. After several years, we have decided to buy a new car. Our first big buy after our wedding!

For the past years I have been driving a Fiat Punto my aunt Marta gave to me. It was a present and it has been one of the best I ever had. For me that I don’t really mind about cars, it was great. It took me everywhere –we even went to the Basque Country and Cantabria one summer- and it was easy to drive and to park.

My Ferrari, as our friend Miriam named, only had two big faults: not air conditioning and when you passed 100 km/h it was hard to keep it going. However, for me, that I used to go to work and short trips it was great.

Maybe it had another fault: it was too old. Actually, this summer it celebrated its 20th birthday and that meant a few visits to be repaired every year and money spent on fixing things.

For all these reasons we decided to start looking for a new car. We understood it was the best solution. We knew it meant a lot of money, but now we can afford it and we thought that it was the best moment to do it.

We made our decision in one day. We spent a Saturday looking around different cars and, in the end, we chose  a Seal Altea XL. Of course, as you can imagine, nothing to see with our Fiat Punto.

This car is easily driven; it is much bigger and has so many options that I haven’t been able to discover them as yet. It was very sad to get rid of our Fiat Punto but we didn’t really have any other option.
