Guess what Tom got?

A 2015 Subaru CrossTrek in Tangerine Orange Pearl!

He has been researching for awhile now so this wasn’t totally out of the blue…but it was a quick decision (the dealer only had this one on the lot and wasn’t getting anymore and it was a decent deal—and someone else was coming to look at it that night). We hated to spend the money, but really wanted to trade his 2008 Prius in before it lost too much more value or required major work like hybrid battery replacement.

The car is quite cool, though I’ve only had a quick ride around the block thus far (he got home about 8:15). Tom loves it—it’s a HUGE upgrade with extras like Bluetooth and leather seats that he’s thrilled about. I kinda hate him because it’s orange and I’m the one who really loves neat colors…but I’m excited because I’ll actually drive it (I never really liked the Prius).

The only minor snag in the process is that I can’t find the title to his Prius. Normally my recordkeeping is SPOT ON but it’s nowhere—it’s not in the safe and it’s not in the file cabinet…and there’s not even a scan of it anywhere! I have an old title (with the first lienholder still on it) scanned into Evernote but that’s it. And oh yeah, of course I can’t find the lien payoff letter, either. WTF??

I know it can be resolved, but now it’s going to be a PITA. What gets me is that I scan everything like that into Evernote—or at the very least, my computer. And there’s nothing. NOTHING. I know we got the lein release letter but can’t recall receiving the title. To be missing one of them maybe…but both?!

The kids were SUPER excited! We went for a short ride around the block and they were practically giddy!

  1. I keep looking at this picture, over and over and over. Where was it taken? That is not your driveway! Yours is on the left, this one is obviously on the right. Small thing, but it’s been bugging me! Sounds like a nice car! I never would have dreamed he would get tangerine! Color to me in a car is the most important feature! ha ha

  2. but your garage is on the left of your house………………..isn’t it? The house is on the right with the garage attached to the left of the house…………………in that picture it looks like the house must be to the left of the garage. Right????

  3. The garage is on the left (looking from the street). Not as obvious as, say, our NC house, though. The garage takes up 3/4 the front of the house.
