So I'm finally getting that car I was talking about. I'm on a budget so it's not going to be a Toyota or Peugeot. On Monday I've placed the order for a Fiat Grande Punto, it should be mine in one or two weeks.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I would have preferred a Toyota, they seem to make solid, reliable, well-thought-out cars. The Peugeot 207 also caught my eye, it looks great on the inside and outside and felt good on the test-drive. On the other hand, this little Fiat (well, it's not that little) isn't bad at all: surprisingly good value for such a small price.

I'm in a social program which helps people buy a new car if they take the old one to the scrap yard. I'm certainly not looking forward to this – the old car has been in the family like forever, and I've grown attached to it. But anyway, things are not people; getting attached to things is a bad idea. :)
