Our New Journey

Sadly, after over two years of loyal service... it was time to turn my caliber back in to the dealership. This car has been good to me. No accidents, only one parking ticket (which I fought and won!) and 1 towing incident. It has seen me through the early stages of dating Haws, our first road trip, our engagement and marriage. I have taken it on "girl trips" and all over Southern California and the boarding states. Needless to say, it has been good to me and I am truly grateful.
But Yippee! I am so excited to take on a new "Journey" with my trade. Haws has been so excited for us to get "Our Journey" (even though I will be the primary driver of the vehicle). I think he is slowly warming up to the fact that when the 4Runner kicks the bucket, he will most likely be joining the Dodge family. There are really so many benefits to buying a dodge, it would be silly to purchase anything else... wouldn't you say?

Brad did a wonderful job showing me all the new features on my new vehicle. I am really excited about being able to hook my ipod up and play it through the radio. Also, the U-Connect is going to be a really good feature for my considering I make most of my calls in the car and now the new law will be in effect that we all have to be "hands free".

I wanted to have a photo of Brad handing me the car keys... classic car purchasing photo. Brad really is a good salesperson and he showed me everything I needed to know and took good care of my. Did he really have a choice?

The best part is that once again... Kori and I have twin cars! We both trader our calibers in for Journeys this week. Here is us posing outside of GAYS (great american yogurt) to celebrate our new rides.

So if you are looking to set out on a new Journey yourself... give Brad a call at Glenn E. Thomas Dodge in Long Beach. You will be taken good care of :)

If we lived there we would have totally bought one from your Dad! But lo and behold we had to do the unthinkable and get a Honda Odyssey...you know, the dreaded mom car ;) Love yours!!

Such a cute car...maybe I will have to get one if my jeep ever "kicks the bucket" (10 years and still running strong...oh well)

We LOVE Glenn E Thomas and buy all our cars there even though we are so dang far away from you guys!! And Brad has treated us great on our last 2 purchases too.
