A couple of weeks ago I was driving my wife's caravan and I tried to pass a slow moving truck going up a hill when the engine started to race and I had no power. I pulled over and the engine died. I tried to restart it but it made a horrible grinding noise and would not run so I called a tow truck and had it towed to my FIL's garage so he could take a look. Come to find out the engine spun a bearing. And it was not worth it for us to put the money into a new engine in it.
So my wife started to think about used cars and what she would like to get while she used her dad's plow truck to get to work. This morning we went to start looking at cars. I suggested we go to a Mazda dealer and start there. I figured while we were there I could check out a Mazda2.
We decided to fill out some paperwork just to see if we would get approved. Next thing we know my wife is going on a test drive and I am dropping the kids off at my mom's to make things easier. A few hours later we are on a way home in a black, 2011, 5-speed Mazda2.
I would post photos but I am on my IPad and I have not figured out how to do that yet.
