Why Yes.....I am a Caraholic

I know there are classes out there for Alcoholics, Shopaholics, Over eaters, etc.  But what about those people that are Caraholics?

Hi, I'm Lacey, and I'm a Caraholic.

I have had several cars over the past couple of years; Pontiac Sunfire, Ford Ranger, Kia Spectra, and a Ford Escape.  Right before the divorce we traded the Ford Escape in on a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta.  This was a sweet car.  The shopping experience was so easy!  They spent more time detailing the car than we did doing the paperwork!  No joke!  I loved that car.  However, I did get the Kia Spectra in the deal.  The hail damaged, fell asleep at the wheel and ran the passenger side down a guardrail Kia Spectra.  No.  I didn't run the car down the guardrail.  

Now, I have a damaged car and nothing good can come out of it but me continuing to pay the payments until it is paid off.  I had the damage estimated and it is only going to cost me the deductable.  $1500.00.  BOO!  However, after my trip to Mexico, I do intend to start saving for the deductable.  

It is hard, being a Caraholic, not being in the position to go down to the local car dealer and smell the new car smell.  Well, I guess I can make a habit of just going and looking, but then who wants to be the crazy person that goes to smell the new car smell?  Not me.  

So it is you and I Kia Spectra.
