Christmas came early for one member of the Kassel Household. I had intended to give Andy a Hot Wheels Mustang for Christmas with a note that read, “Go buy your new car.” However, the intermittent starting issue that we have had with the Alero over the past 18 months decided to rear its ugly head again. Andy was obviously frustrated because he sent me web links to Ford Mustangs for sale at the local dealerships. Now, we had talked about replacing the Alero with a Mustang, so this was absolutely not a surprise. Last night, he brought home a 2014 Mustang GT with only 4,400 miles on it. Today, we have a new car in our garage and I have a husband with a huge smile. Earlier than I wanted and my Christmas surprise ruined, but that smile *is* worth it. Welcome home to the Blue Pony!
To our old girl, the Alero… You were the first new car that we had ever bought. We brought you home with 160 miles on you and you left us with just under 180,000. We loved you and you were good to us. Thanks for 13 great years! We will miss you!
