It's a NEW CAR!!!

I finally went and organised my loan and traded in my poor dying 626 on a new Mazda3 SP23 . Got the leather and Bose pack and cruise control as options, so i now have a huge debt but i love the car so i don't really care.

It's back to work for me next week, but it's all good as the second i get there on monday I'm resigning as I was offered a new job while i was on holidays! It's a government job which pays about $10k/yr more than my current one, has all the usual perks like RDO's and is close enough that I should be able to walk to work. So 2 weeks notice to my old job, which means i should be at the new one from August 8th.
