Kyle's New Car!!!

Are you ready for this?? We purchased a car this past weekend! After a good amount of searching and looking for good deals, we came across a Suburu WRX Impreza on our beloved website, 'okinawayardsales.com'. Kyle e-mailed the owner about it. He originally had it priced at $4000 (way out of our budget), but the owner eventually went down to $2400. Which was actually a little cheaper than my car! The plus to this is that the JCI is not due until next year. So, this saved us money right off the bat which was nice because once again, we were able to pay cash for a vehicle. Hallelujah!


As you all know, I drive a little, cute, girly, and very yellow car that has a ridiculously small engine. Which is fine. I don't need to go fast. And my car fits nicely on the tiny roads. It's really a marvelous thing. Well, the way I would describe Kyle's car is pretty much the opposite of mine. It's black (such a dark, manly color). It goes fast (which of course is necessary in Japan... yeah, riiiiight.) Oh, and Kyle wants me to mention that it has TURBO, and that it's a five speed, all wheel drive, with an aftermarket computer. I mean, that's cool and all, but no where near as awesome as my little Nissan! ;-) Needless to say, Kyle loves his new ride. I will inform you that he's usually very careful about the speed limit because being an American and getting pulled over is most definitely not a good thing here. But, he really enjoys driving it. It was a good deal and we are so thankful!


Here's a few pictures of the car and its proud owner:

I just thought of something. Kyle has to shift with the left hand. Did he have a hard time getting used to that or is he very coordinated. :)
