Day 174: A New Car, A New Gym

Well, we got up this morning and after breakfast headed to the dealership to get our first look at our new car.  It’s a black Rio 5 hatchback with a tan interior.  I took it for a quick test drive then all we had to do was sign some paperwork and presto like magic we drove away in a new vehicle.

I must say I am looking forward to driving a car with an ability to hook my iPod to the radio.  Previously I had a tape deck and adaptor in the Honda until the tape deck ceased working.  I used the cd changer for audio books from the library but you don’t realize how spoiled you get.  Changing out CDs was a pain especially since the changer was mounted in the trunk. 

Although I got decent gas mileage in the Honda I should get 11+ miles better in the new Kia.  It’s a comfortable ride with no flash.  Hey, it is what it is a purely commuter car.  I have the 4 Runner with moon roof and all power everything as the family vehicle.

This afternoon we hit the new gym for the first time together. It’s not bad either, like I previously said, no pool but then again I never used it.  They did have these machines with preprogrammed running paths that let you choose to jog in several major cities and different countries.

For our workout we chose jogging through northern Italy.  While the screen shows you running through various parts of the North Country it also scrolls facts about where you are running.  You get a work out and an education.  How awesome is that?
