About a year ago when N&I were looking for our 2nd car, we had it in mind for our wedding. That, plus the man subconsciously reminded of the fact that he was turning into the BIG 3, got us looking at the more hip-looking group of cars - the coupes. The man has always loved big and tall SUVs. But he didnt want to drive a 2-door when he becomes saggy and bald and toothless. Neither do I fancy crawling into a low ride when I become the same. Plus we wanted something suitable for a wedding. So we went ahead with our instincts and got ourselves a flashy red coupe.
Introducing, BATMAN. So named, not by us but by everyone else who had seen the car, as you can see :p
We have had a short but sweet memory with this Batman.
Although we also experienced more inconvenience with a 2-door: It gets abit tough sometimes to slide into the extremely low seat while trying to leverage on a pointy heel. Throwing things into the backseat got a bit tough as well cos we have to pull down the passenger seat each time, and repeat again when we want to take them out. Not to mention the ultimate inconvenience when we have passengers in the backseat. But it was our choice, so we continued riding in it.
And we created some fond memories <3
(professionalism by both our paid-for photog and volunteer videog =P)
Shortly after, we went on our honeymoon to Florida. And this is what HERTZ gave us!
A FORD Explorer!!
After playing around with this car for a coupla days, it kinda re-ignited the man's interest in SUVs. I found myself a better driver with taller cars too. Twas an amazing ride that took us on a smooth 4-hour from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando and back again. We found back the lost feeling for our love of having back doors, and the extra boot space.
So fast forward 2 months later, with some other considerable factors, we made a household decision. Luckily for us, timely enough to skip the 2nd annual road tax renewal for our Batman.
So yeah. Batman was a short, but sweet, 1 year stint.
Goodbye Batman.
PS. I think Murphy will have problem jumping himself onto the new car and I cant wait to see that happening on Fri evening!! :p Super evil Mummy *heh*
