["I'd never had a new car, always used.  And when I say used, I mean 1973 VW Bug, no heat, no air, in Atlanta traffic.  That was until I got married."]
Well hello fellow Atlanta person. I also buy used, but most people tend to look down on it
I'd never had a new car, always used.  When I married my husband, that's what he did, bought me a new car for a wedding present!
