Jamie's New Toy!!

Ever see a man so obsessed of something?

I finally got to see it when Jamie got his new car, a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. He has been reading the specs and reviews of the car every night for the past week. Then he checked and compared all the financing options. I know nothing about cars, so I suggested him to get advice from Gary as he just bought a Hybrid car - Prius (I am glad he did). Both of them went car testing and since then he "fell in love" with that car (the most appropriate description I can think of...:P).
I was sold on the fact that we only need to pump gas about every 3 weeks compares to every week now on our Kia Amanti. We owned the Kia Amanti for about 9 months and it's been a very nice car, so luxurious that it's fully loaded with everything. I have no complains about it except its fuel consumption...:(
Well, we said goodbye to our Amanti on Thursday and welcomed home the Camry Hybrid. Jamie took us out for a car ride and we were all excited. It's really a beauty!! (I just love black car..:P) That night, Jamie hardly slept because he was so excited about the car, if I didn't ask him to stop talking, I believe he will talk till the next morning. The next morning, he drove my car to work instead because it was raining and he didn't want the new car to get dirty (Luckily I was off so he can use my car, otherwise he might call in sick.....imagine that!).
He spent most of his time with his new toy - the car and we all know where he is going to be for the many weekends to come.....all the guys may understand his behavior but all girls may be shaking their heads like me...:P
Did I mention that the car was purchased at Lawrence? Other car dealerships in KC area were not really helpful in looking for us a black one (my only requirement!). It was a little far but the salesmen there were extremely helpful and managed to find it from Nebraska. Most importantly we had saved some sales tax buying our car there.....
