As mentioned, we bought a new car last week.

Specifically, we upgraded from a 1999 Subaru Forester to a 2010 Subaru Forester. Here are shots of the old (left) and new (right) cars:

They look similar don’t they?!

The new one is actually quite a bit larger than the old. It’s also got a slew of nifty features the old didn’t, like a gigantic openable sunroof, powered drivers seat, a jack for an iPod, four settings for seat heaters and a sensor to show when tires are too deflated! We went with the all-weather package as well, so it has windshield and rearview mirror heating and various other things that are nice to have in the snowy northeast.

We also paid cash for it. This was quite a major thing for me, since I’ve never come close to paying so much (in cash) for anything ever before :O

Even though I’ve been driving the old Forester since we got our other car (a 2002 Subaru Impreza) this new one – of course – goes to KLS, so I have inherited the Impreza. Hopefully we’ll get ten years out of that guy as well, before we have to replace it.
