New Car... New Car... I got a NEW CAR!

That's right.  We got the new car I was telling you about, and I am so very happy.  There were many factors that went in to us getting a new car.  Originally our plan was to wait until Michael was done with school, but the time had just come.  So, taking in mind that we will have this car for a few years, and most likely will have kids before it's time to move on to another car, we went with an SUV.  That has been our plan all along, and really our plan has been to get the Hyundai Santa Fe, and that's what we did.  We are in love.  Here are some pictures for all of you...

It's a 2007.  The trim line is an SE, and if you can't tell in the pictures, it's silver.

Double exhaust

The inside

Michael likes that the lights are blue! :)

Of course, the numbers and letters and everything light up blue too when the lights are on at night.

The back seats can be upright or recline in a few different angles.

It can also go down on one side, or the other... or both down at the same time.

The middle can come down as an armrest, or have a cup holder.

The back has TONS of room!

Plus, it opens in two different ways.  The first little compartment is for the jack, a first aid kit (that it didn't come with, but you can buy if want), and a fire extinguisher (which it also didn't come with).  It also has a cargo net in there.

The bigger  compartment is great!  It's deep, tons of room, and a few different areas.

That middle divider actually comes out and can be moved around as you wish.

It has electric everything, including for the seats, which I am very happy about.  

It has lumbar support too! :)

YAY for controls on the steering wheel!

Sunroof

It has lots of little compartments as well.

If we had a garage, we could program the buttons on the mirror to open it.  It also has the light adjusting mirror, or whatever it's called...

It also has bigger tires (than the GLS) and alloy wheels

OH... and check out the little air gauge thing!

Yay for new cars!  This is the first time I've gotten to actually buy a car I want and not be told what I had to buy.  This is my first time actually going to a dealership... test driving cars... and negotiating.  And boy did I negotiate!  I surprised myself and think I shocked my husband.  Oh well, we got a good deal!
