We spent the first 6 months walking to work in the morning and either walking or hitching rides home in the afternoon until it was winter. We didn't mind walking in the cold too, but the rains were the damper. It was quite hard to walk on the wet ground and getting our shoes and feet all wet when we reach the office, so Hubby and I decided to get a car.
I've never bought a car before in my life and I'm not into them as well. So I left all the researching with Hubby. After days or weeks researching, he finally narrowed down the choices to Mitsubishi Colt, Toyota Yaris or a Honda __. Yes, all small cars because he wanted something fuel efficient plus there's only the two of us who will ride the car.
So one Saturday in June 2007, we went to the nearest Mitsubishi dealership, the Chadstone Mitsubishi, to do a test drive on the Colt. First, it was Hubby's turn to drive. We circled the nearby block and it was great! Then the salesman asked me to try too. I really didn't want to because I wasn't really confident about my driving yet, but he insisted. So we circled the same block again and I almost gave him and Hubby a heart attack that time. That's what he got from forcing me to do something! LOL!
We didn't have to test drive the other car choices anymore, because after I laid my eyes and hands on the Colt, I instantly fell in love with it and Hubby also felt the same. So we just proceeded with all the paperwork and the downpayment and after one week, we were able to get our "red-hot" Colt from Mitsubishi. And it was also just in time for our second wedding anniversary!
