Driving home, I called my parents to share the good news. Dad said, "Now you need to put your dragon tag on the new car!" Well, actually, I never put it on the old car. All the time I've had my special tag, I never put it on the Focus. Or my sticker either. "You really didn't like that car, did you? You never moved in!" said Dad.
Well, I've moved in now! See? My tag AND my sticker!
The cargo space is nice and big too - big enough for two large dogs to share and even lie down. I took the bike rack off the Focus and transferred the flat of water, case of Zero and my cooler (for cold stuff after grocery shopping) over and there was still quite a bit of room.
Also... there's a molded rubber mat for the cargo space. If you get a bag of kitty litter with a leak or dogs that drool, you can pull the rubber mat out and hose it down. Absolutely brilliant!
Darling Man came out when I arrived home and nodded. "THIS car is YOU," he said. "The Focus never was."
I think so too.

Congrats!
There is nothing like car love. I liked my 03 Explorer, but I loooooove my new Toyota Corolla.
I reccommend that you spend a morning hand washing it and etailing the interior. It gives you a good baseline for knowing your car. You pick up on anything amiss much sooner, because you know every inch of the car. Plus, you find all the nooks and crannies BEFORE something important falls into them!

Yes, it's you--and you moved in immediately. Just the ticket--happy trails!

Seems like the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
You did good! Subarus are good, reliable cars. I know; I have had three so far and none of them ever had problems.
Congrats!! I know you are happy.
P.S., silver!!!
You have a totally cute new ride now!!
You are aboutto rediscover the joy of driving! I learned the lesson a few years ago when I went from a temporary stint in a junky car that smelled like feet and I hated driving to a comfortable, roomy vehicle I was very happy to drive. Trips becime pleasurable again, and you will actually look forward to leaving the house in the morning!
CONGRATS!! :)

Sheesh, I missed this. Grats!
Hi Shane, I work for Carmichael Lynch who works on the advertising for Subaru of America. I found your blog/blog post through a couple of different blog searches. I am working on a research project to understand Subaru drivers better. I was wondering if you would like to participate in the project. It is an online project through a private Ning network. We are paying a $100 dollar incentive for people who help out. You can find more info out here - http://soasrn.wordpress.com/ If this comment doesn't go through, I might email you as well. Thanks for your time, Herb
Hi Sayre,
Herb from the research project (I just left a comment)...totally embarrassing...I was talk with my co-worker Shane as I type out this comment...and yeah, typed his name while looking at yours.
Very embarrassing...and hope that it doesn't sway you from considering participating in my research project for Subaru.
