Mom's New Ride

First thing's first.  Yes, this is a new header image style.  I just got a little tired of the square format with the title at the bottom and a text box around it.  I think this style will be a nice change of pace without taking too much time away from actually posting.

Okay, on to business.  No, I have not purchased my mother a new car.  Yet.  She's being stubborn about it.  I could say that this started a week or so ago when she had a complaint about her current car, but honestly this started back when I helped her pick out her current car in 2014.  I never intended for this to be the end all car for her.  Cars age.  Cars get better each and every year.  Car payments go away.  Put those together and I just figured that after 5 years I'd look and see what her current car payment could purchase at that time.  Now I didn't share that sentiment with Mom as she's like me... stubborn.  She doesn't like things being given to her and would rather 'do without' so that she can give to others.  The fact that I'm taking my money and spending it on her is a sore spot with her.
