I bought my first ever brand new car a few weeks ago. I still am pinching myself each day when I look outside and see it. Anyone else buy anything crazy lately? Lol.

I’m getting an ebike, probably today.

My cousin bought her first car late last year. She’s always lived in NYC (now in Brooklyn) and they were public transportation people. They always borrowed her inlaws’ car when they needed one (she and husband have a cabin in Woodstock NY). She’s in her 50s and husband is in his 60s and this is their first car. The inlaws were in their 80s and 90s but still had a car.

Not a car, but I bought my first matched washer/dryer set yesterday. Happy 40th anniversary to H and me.

I’m thinking that a Subaru Crosstrek is a serious contender for our next small car. Subarus are great.

A program my city has for a rebate on the ebikes. They are still expensive but not so bad because of the rebate.

We bought a roof full of solar panels. Lol. Waiting for the install.

Congrats on your car. Subaru Crosstrek is a great, versatile car. :+1::+1:

H has a Subaru CrossTrek. 2 years old, 60k miles, no issues and great gas mileage.

He’s somewhat color blind—loves that his is orange.

Hey that’s what we got nov ‘20. But I think ours is a premium. Enjoy!! We like ours very much.

Congratulations! How exciting :grinning:

We have a Subaru Outback and a Subaru Legacy and love both. Our 16-year old was in an auto accident this week that totaled our 2012 Camry Hybrid :cry: (no one hurt and other driver was at fault) and were seriously considering a Crosstrek as the replacement. Such a useful design.

Do not overlook the Impreza if you like the Crosstrek but do not want it raised as much.

Congrats! I love Subarus. Our daughter drives the first ever brand new car that we bought when I was pregnant with her!

He’ll never lose it in a parking lot. I drive what’s cheap, but part of the downside of driving a silver Taurus (to name one example) is the number of times I actually had my key in someone else’s door. That won’t happen any more because now I drive a 2014 CRX. (Narrator: It will happen again.)
