I have a new car!!

After looking at more used car ads than I can count and test driving 7 cars, I finally found the right one!  I ended up with a burgundy 2012 Civic LX with ~92,000 miles on it.  We got it from a Toyota dealership!  The man who helped us was awesome.  It's such a pretty car and has so little wear overall, especially since it was originally purchased in 2011.  It's amazing how different it felt driving this one, it was almost immediate that I loved it.  The others were more "okay, I could be good with this" and this car was just an immediate yes.  The only problem is that we weren't able to get it checked out by a mechanic, but I'm taking it to my guy tomorrow.  I have been texting my mechanic throughout this whole process anyway.

Funny aside: we walked into a commercial shoot.  The camera wasn't rolling when we walked in, thankfully, but we did get to overhear some of the lines.  A couple of the guys working in the finance department have kids who are attending or have attended the same high school I went to, so there was some excitement about that.  Everyone was really friendly.
