a new car

After a month or so of test drives and research, we pulled the trigger and bought a new car Saturday.  We are now owners of a 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid.  

We hung onto our 2004 Lexus RX-330 for 10 years and only put 68,000 miles on it in that time.  That car was really awesome - smooth as silk and dependable as the sunrise - but in the last several months the shock absorbers were losing their touch and it was getting to resemble an amusement park ride.  

Hopefully the MKZ will be as satisfying and dependable.  It's a little shocking and almost overwhelming to consider how complicated this car is.  The Owner's Manual is over 400 pages long and I am up to about page 100.  My head is swimming with all the options and electronics.  

Here is a very unprofessional picture of our old car beside the new car.
