Move-in On Up!

For the 3rd time since I've been here, I'll be getting a new car. Since my last lease was brand new, I have to return it to the manufacturer, apparently so they can insert it back into their fleet of rentals/leases, and get a new one. I could have opted for the same exact car and paid the same, but being the foolish spender (at least with my JET money) that I am, I thought I'd upgrade. I was driving the Daihatsu Mira Custom before, a nice small kei car (kei being any car with an engine 660 CCs or smaller...no that isn't a typo) but small for lots of luggage or my main concern, snowboarding. I've put almost 16,000 kilometers on that car (a nice even 10,000 miles for those unaware of the conversion rate) in about a year, and am ready to change.

My new car will be the Daihatsu Move X Vs, the next level up in the model line. It's got more leg room, an adjustable (forwards and backwards) rear seat to accomodate luggage and best of all, a split folding rear seat back (the Mira comes down in one piece). This will be much easier to fit snowboards and gear in, as well as a possible 3rd person, for both boarding and other road trips. It also has an audio jack for an mp3 player, keyless ignition, and a bunch of other fancy features I can't wait to try out.

Just got word today that the car is ready and while I'm going to miss my Mira, I can't to make the move to the Move.
