After struggling with 0 credit problems for the past 5 years, we’re finally getting a [NEW CAR!](http://ca.yimg.com/i/ca/jato/i/kia_2003_rio_5es.jpg)

We currently own a 1993 Cavalier that is on it’s way out. We had to replace the water pump in October and now the head gasket is gone. We bought it 2 years ago next month and put almost 75,000 KM on it. It has been a great car.

I’m just SO happy I had to share. 😃

Thanks Venus!!

My Stepmom has that blue one, we’re getting black. The only other colours it comes in are fire engine red, dark teal or silver. My fiance got to pick the colour because I got to pick the car hehe

We’re getting it next week, which is perfect because we’re going away next weekend. I doubt the Cavalier would make the trip.
