After being car-payment free for the last couple of years, I finally broke down and traded in my old vehicle, a 2000 Mustang. Pretty much the basic model – manual transmission, cloth seats and all standard equipment.

This was taken around February 2007 while I was in Utah. High torque, rear wheel drive vehicle aren’t that great in the snow. While in Utah, I did a 540 degree spin across a 4 lane highway while it was snowing. I’ll save the details on that for another blog.
Anyway, last Labor Day weekend, I went and purchased an Altima. Actually quite a bit of a jump in terms of amenities available when compared to my former car. I think with the exception of satellite radio, a sunroof wind shield and aluminum kick plates, I pretty much got all the options that were available.

I opted for medium tint for the driver and front passenger windows and dark for the rear passenger and rear windshield. Here’s what it looks like now:
