Test Driving

My brain has turned to mush from doing all this research on the Chevy Cobalt and Mazda3. I've looked at so many dealer websites, Edmunds, KBB, Consumer Reports, etc. everything is starting to blur together.

I left work early yesterday since it was slow and DH had off since he worked the weekend. So we test drove a Cobalt LT and Mazda 3 s Sport. The Cobalt had all the features that we are looking for in a car...and it was BLUE, my favorite color. The Mazda dealer only had one Mazda3 in stock and it was missing some of the options we want. Both cars have their pros and cons and we're still weighing them.

One thing I can see with the Mazda is that it may be quite costly for me....as in speeding tickets. I found myself going 80 on the highway (in a 65 mph). It definitely did not feel like we were going that fast. The ZOOM ZOOM certainly fits. There are two dealers about an hour away that have several of the i Touring models so we may check them out this weekend.

As for sewing, I did get a little bit done tonight after work. I have about 12 quarter squares sewn and ready to be made into the block. I'll take a picture after I have a few more made. I'm thinking that my purple and green are going to blend together and not make enough contrast....but we'll see when I get some blocks made.
