This is me and my new car face showing how excited I was to be looking at new cars!
It seems like whenever we buy a new car it’s during some other big moment in our life. My favorite new car purchase was when the little one joined our family! We had been wanting to add to our family for years, and I didn’t want to jinx it from happening by buying a new, bigger car, so I stayed with our car that could only fit the 4 of us till Pete made me buy a new one. I’m totally superstitious like that.
Then one Fall day Pete told me we had to stop waiting. Regardless if we had another baby or not, we needed to buy me a new car.
I told him that I really didn’t want to and that I wanted to wait and see if we should get a bigger car that could seat more people, or just stick with a smaller SUV. He had had enough of my stalling and decided to take care of it himself.
Thank goodness he did.
He decided to go out and buy the new car. I loved my new car and I was so glad that he went with a car big enough to fit 6 or 7 people (just in case our family did get bigger). A couple months passed and we found out that we were going to grow our family… but as with most adoptions the timing was a little different than when you give birth yourself and have 9 months to plan.
We ended up having less than a month from the time we found out we were going to be parents again and when my little one was born!
Had I waited any longer to get our new car there is no way we would have been able to get all the adoption stuff done and gone new car shopping so that we would have a car that could fit us all… at least not without a ton of added stress.
Pete reminds me all the time that my superstitious ways were totally wrong on this one. Buying the car was the lucky trick for us to complete our family. I guess “if you have enough room in your car you will get enough children to fill it”! Or at least that’s what I tell myself!
Mine will be paid off in one year. I look forward to not having to work weekends and more boating.
Sounds amazing!
We just bought a new car when our second son was born. Our last car was falling apart and when he came to pick me up from the hospital a major car problem happened on the way home. We made it home, but we bought a new car the next day. lol
What a great contest. Thankfully my husband just paid his off and it was a relief to be finished.
I cannot wait until our cars are paid off! We would just be putting the money towards more medical debts!
I love Cars.com no drama philosophy. Buying a car can be SUCH a stressful experience. Anything that can make that smoother is awesome in my book. Thanks for sharing their giveaway. Pretty sweet to have the car paid off. 🙂
We own both of our vehicles at this point. The hubby makes a car payment into a savings account so that when it’s time to replace one he can pay cash. he’s a saver that man.
I can’t wait until our car is paid off! We are trying to save to do just that right now. Looks like you all got the right car for you! 🙂
Once you pay off your car you feel so good and it’s like a burden is lifted off you!
Yeah, new vehicles tend to happen around big events with us too. We just got our dodge journey a little over a year ago, so no new car face for us just yet.
Great contest! Finding a new car can be hard.
Fun contest! We’re thinking of getting a new car, too. Hopefully, this materializes before the end of the year. 🙂
This is a really great contest, and I am loving your excited new car face!
My husband’s truck is almost paid off. My car is on lease. It would be awesome to win this contest. I wish everybody good luck.
Nice New Car face. Love the contest.
I’ve only ever had one brand new car, back in 1988. If I had one now and it’s loan was paid off I’d probably get another for hubby.
Mine is the only car payment left…I can’t wait to pay it off and then get my dream car :). Congratulations on your new car and beautiful fam!
It’s a great contest and I hope a family that could use the help wins. I paid off my car a couple of years ago. I’d love a new car someday, but not anytime soon.
I wish that we could get rid of our 10 year old truck. It woks but we would love something newer. I would love for our other car to be paid off. If it was paid off then getting rid of the SUV would be possible.
This seems like it is such a great deal for someone with a car loan
My husband and I just bought a new car in November, but we’ll have to keep cars.com in mind for our next purchase!
Very cool contest – and yest we purchased our new car in 2013 so could enter it – and congrats on your new car and wonderful adoption!!! 🙂
I can do a new car face for that kind of prize. This is an amazing contest/giveaway. 🙂
This is such a fantastic contest, thanks for the chance to participate. I’d travel with the money I’d have left from a car loan if I won. In my new car that I don’t have yet lol.
Congrats on the adoption and the new car. I wish I had a car period. lol My sister just bought a new car because of their lil one so I shared this with her. This is an awesome giveaway indeed. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like a great contest. Congrats on your purchase!
Getting a new car is such a fun experience. I’ve only had one truly new one in my life (the one I have now), and I love it. Getting it paid off was even better. Great giveaway and thanks for sharing the heartwarming story behind it 🙂
Man I wold love to get my current loans paid off! I sure love new car shopping – it’s always so exciting!
I think we’ll be new car shopping soon. My husband’s car is running into the ground, and we need something reliable for him.
I’ll have to enter! We just bought a new truck!
What a great contest. I know it could really help people!
I love this newcarface promotion! I’m going to need a new car soon!
We used to have a car, well, my uncle used to when I was still a little girl. It’s a volkswagen buggy. But I still dont have one, maybe that’s why even if it’s already phased out, I’d still want to own a buggy. 🙂
We just bought a new car last fall – and it was actually fun looking. I love the picture! You look great. It is really fun to think about “new car face” lol. I am sure I had one too!
