First new car I’ve ever bought in my life will be delivered by Tuesday this week. A White 2016 Kia Rio Hatchback. Right price, right MPG, & even my mechanic say the brand is really, really reliable. Feels good. 🙂 ---

Congrats! My uncle got his first new car a couple years ago, when he was just almost 60. I think he’s been a new man since then! 🙂
