This got me to remember that buying a new car was one of the key factors in trying vaping. I had tried the store ones before - not for me. But now I did not want to stink up my new car - Mazda 3 iSport. Most fun car I have ever owned.

Sorry, no pics. Its just a black car (with about 50 coats of professional wax on it after buffing out the finish). LOL, people actually stop a look at it.

In recognition of my one year smokeless anniversary, I wanted a car i never smoked in. So we went yesterday and turned my black 2012 pilot EX into this brand new polished metal EX-L. My new Woodvil (named "wood chuck" by my son) is beggin me for a ride :) I can't wait to experience new woodvil smell combined with new car smell :)

Workhorse REO Mini 2.0 and RM2. Peattie (2003 Limited PT Cruiser) will be 11 yrs old in December. Can we say "Granny and Dogs About Town Car"? That's 28K not 280K. I had to drive around Home Depot parking lot to catch it at 28K. I've replaced some rubber "thingies" and had to replace all tires, a couple of years ago, due to dry rot. It does the job but climbing up the big hill coming home, loaded with several hundred pounds of Bubs it does complain a bit. Luckily speed limit is 45mph. This is kinda a spoof pic because I'm really not bragging about low mileage. But it sure has been wonderful not having any car payments on Peatie and DH's Acura for many years!!!!:D

Fiat - big pic.jpg

This is my brand new "Ride"......my little Fiat 500. I need an all yellow Grand to match it. All I see on the Reos mods site is a black wrinkle with a yellow door, but that just won't do. I NEED a yellow/yellow Grand....bad. :lol: Anyway, I forgot about this thread until it showed up, and I thought I'd just show off my new baby. It's tiny, 5-speed stick, and I'm getting (so far....really haven't broken it in yet) 37 mpg. LOVE it.

EDIT: I went from a full sized 6-cylinder Ford Fusion to this and my family and friends have all said, "That is so YOU!" Ha. It is me....back to my roots. I'm wondering if they have great big flower stickers big enough to fit a car...... :lol:

No, I got the straight up "Pop".....and it handles great. I can literally turn on a dime. It's pretty awesome.....I'm totally loving it....I make excuses to go somewhere just to drive it. Ha. It's tiny, but when you're inside it, it feels really roomy. I have two booster seats in the back seat for my grandkids, and it has a little hatchback with space enough to hold lots of stuff. And the two back seats fold down for more space. It's all I need and exactly what I wanted. The bright yellow color was just a bonus. :)

Don't know if you saw it Jan but Sissy has a yellow 500 Fiat, "Lemon Princess" that will be a year old soon. WE ALL LOVE IT!!!! So glad you went with yellow. Hers is standard. Today she got her last free maintanence service that they offered for very first xxxxxx thousand sold in US. She has close to 50K on it and no issues what so ever. It is one fine tiny car and mileage is ideal for hitt'n the road. I think she gets close to 50mpg, hwy, but she does drive like a granny and rarely uses AC. She has a really cute front windsheild sunscreen that is yellow with flowers. With the back seats folded forward we can get Jake Mastiff in back, although not standing. In an emergency we coul squeeze the two Heeler girls in with him. So glad for you. Great choice in my not so humble opinion.
