It's always Something Part II

 So, I got home from work a little later-I had to stay over for a little while, we were a little short staffed-anyways, I get home and I keep hearing this little chirp, chirp....OMG! NOOOO!!! It's the smoke detector! It's crying for a new battery......So after getting some sleep, I replaced all 5 batteries in the detectors. Maybe you should too.

And in other news, We got DD a new car. As you know from previous posts-the Jeep was some kind of accident attract-er. This last one was the last straw. So we had been looking at some different options. And here's what we got. The Kia Seltos. It's a lovely orange-ish color, called Mars Orange. 

When we were shopping we wanted to test drive the two models, there's a 4 cylinder 2.0 motor, and there's a 4 cylinder 1.4 Turbo available, and we wanted to judge if the Turbo was worth the added cost.
The dealer had just unloaded a new turbo equipped Seltos so we got to drive it-even before it was all unwrapped!
These cars are flying off the lot. We looked earlier and saw two on the lot, when we went back later, they were sold!! So DD took this one for a test drive and fell in love! The Turbo was actually worth the extra money...at least we think so!
I'm so glad to have her in a new car-one that I hope isn't jinxed!
When we got it home on Monday, Brother was keen to have a look! He's all about the Turbo!
Then we went on a little test drive!
Such fun to hang out with these two! They got busy and got the Seltos connected to the phone and setting up all the bells and whistles this car has available. Lots of safety stuff too. It almost drives itself.

Something New!

Do you remember a few years ago, there was this commercial with hamsters driving a Kia Soul?  It was pretty entertaining. 
 
We've been kind of car shopping a little bit to replace hubs, Ford Fiesta. Remember when we got her?
No rush really, but that transmission has been getting more and more annoying-Ford says it's fine, buuuuuutttttt I was worried that he'd end up broke down somewhere and we'd have a big repair bill. Sooooooo
After a ton of browsing on line and comparing and reading reviews and looking for the best deal, we came here....Kia of Des Moines. Hubs knew he wanted a Kia Soul. And we selected this pretty white one. The folks there were pretty good to deal with and it didn't take too long to work out the final bits, because I already did most of the work on line.I would recommend on line shopping and paper work filling out 100%!
Hubs is very happy with his new car, I drove it home from Des Moines and I think it's a pretty great car. I think we got a great deal and it was worth the drive.
I'll keep you posted how it works out!
