So first of all, this was definitely not coordinated. The situation and/or the naming.
We were already struggling financially after the death of my car. We weren't used to making car payments anymore and so we were trying to figure out how to scale our expenditures back in order to make room for paying for my car. However, we're both terrible when it comes to cars.
I got a call from him the other day saying his car was driving weird. So I leave work early, drive to his job where he had the car parked and... yeah. It was bad. He had engine knock just like mine. I had to drive his car from his job back to our apartment which was scary to say the least. It didn't want to speed up, it sounded and felt like shit, and I just wanted to die the whole time.
The next day we put the purchase through on Carvana for his new car. I thought he'd pick something higher up like a crossover like I have, or something different. I definitely didn't think he'd pick another Kia after the weird issues he had with his Rio. Nope. He picked a fucking Kia. I wanted to talk him out of it, but I didn't. This was his car and I wanted it to be his choice. I dropped an "are you sure" and left it at that.
So yeah, welcome Bluey to the family. Our bank account is about to go full emo mode now for the next six years, but at least he's back on the road.
