Buying a new car is quite an experience and investment. Looking back on my childhood, there are some very funny new car buying stories that we love to share. My older brother started a side business selling firewood when he was just out of his teens. Since he needed a truck to haul the cords of wood, my parents went out with him to look at a long-term rental and they came home with a brand new yellow Chevy cargo van. Or there’s the time my parents bought 3 new Triumph Spitfires, one for each of my older brothers, because the deal was just too good to pass up. I remember going to dealership after dealership with my dad when he was looking at Corvettes. We took so many test drives before he surprised us one day driving in with a new white Chevy Stingray Corvette. How he loved that car! There are so many great memories but one of the fondest is how my parents bought my sister and I matching red Pontiac Firebirds when I was 16.
As an adult I have had my own experiences with my husband buying cars for ourselves and our older kids. I am sure my kids have some great memories of our experiences, but probably nothing as colorful as my parents’ purchases. Maybe you are in the market for a new car, it’s getting closer to winter and if you live in a cold climate, maybe an SUV or 4 Wheel Drive is on your agenda.
