Move over Chloe, there's a new car in town!

This is Chloe.  She is a 1997 Mazda Protege.  She has been a good car but...


... she has seen better days.

check out that close-up!  no amount of makeup can cover that up darling!  

Poor thing is also really loud, likes to make a fun rumbly noise at stop lights, and has had so much food spilled inside her that we can't really remember what colour her seats are supposed to be.  (yep, that's right, she has been around since the days of my mom's catering business, most of the spills are actually chocolate sauce!)

Enter new car!  a 2005 Saturn Ion.  Ain't she purdy? even the sunshine likes her!  spotless inside and out, hardly driven at all.  basically, a brand new car!  huzzah!  she doesn't have a name yet, but soon, oh soon!
