Noelle Gets Her First New Car



Phoenix is red hot. This picture of Noelle standing in front of the Intel Facilities in Chandler, Arizona may not quite get that message across, but I swear you could bake a potato on the sidewalk in about 10 minutes.

We then zeroed in on buying a car. It was really no contest as the Honda Civic really is a perfect car for her. She had driven a Honda CRV that she bought before leaving for Rice University in her sophomore year. It was a very good car. Civics are in really big demand because of their price and gas mileage. 30MPG in town and 40MPG on the road. We had just stepped into one model to test drive it and they came out and put a sold sticker on it. So, we ended up with another model that also pleased Noelle because of the color.


Noelle negotiated her first deal like a pro and got a fair price.


She loves her first new car. Don't you all remember your first one? I do, it was a Volvo 240 and it cost $3000 total brand new in 1970.


It was a fun day.
