Our dream car!

Finally the zoom zoom zoom is here! Yay, we got our new car home delivered this Monday afternoon. It's classy, it's gorgeous, it's sharp, and it's Black in color. The model we have got is Mazda CX 9. Motor Trend announced this car as the 2008 Sport/Utility of the Year. Some call it SUV [Sports Utility Vehicle] and some CUV [Cross over Vehicle].

Getting a new car can be one hellva job! Seriously, it’s been almost 2 months and over since we started the car hunting exercise. And we know how much energy we have drained into short listing cars, going through consumer reports, going to various dealers, trying to find out if the specific model matches the specs we are looking at. Hats off to Amit for working on this day and night, sending faxes to the dealers, calling them and doing the research, just to find out the dream car of ours!

In the end, all I can say is that it was worth it :).



Now that it's here, we took her (I guess I would call her she :)), on road first time yesterday. And her first visit was to the temple. We offered our prayers and seeked blessing for the new vehicle. I will post pictures soon of the ceremony. Amit is quite cautious while driving this new car as its bigger, heavy and new! And we both are too nervous and vigilant to make our car have a single dust particle. Wow! can you imagine how possessive we can be for our new vehicle!

We are now hoping to take this beauty for a long drive and for that we have to plan a long trip soon. I am hoping to accumulate some of my vacation time to zoom zoom zoom on our dream car soon!
