Brian took Alex in to the dealership for an airbag recall last week and they gave him a 2018 RX as a loaner. He immediately fell in love and was raving about it. I asked him to send me pictures and then brought him back down to earth by reminding him that we haven’t had a car payment in years and I’d like to keep it that way. <\/p>\n

We both agreed that we don’t want car payments. The car sure is nice, though. Check out the pics below.<\/p>\n

The color of the exterior is the same as Alex’ exterior color. <\/p>\n

So we would have matching gray cars. <\/p>\n

The leather interior looks really nice. <\/p>\n

It has a sunroof just like Rex (Brian’s RX).<\/p>\n

Brian liked how they reconfigured the panel, which allowed for a bigger navigation display. Brian says it’s double the size of the one in his car. <\/p>\n

I think had we been our old selves Brian probably would have traded Rex in without batting an eyelash. No offense, Rex.<\/em> But we are more responsible now. We vowed never to get into debt, ever again. Plus, Rex has been super reliable. Brian might be drooling over the new and improved version of Rex but there’s really no good reason to replace him. Maybe in a few years. We will have to save up for it, though. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
