Love at first sight

a 2

I have been car-hunting for quite a while - ever since I decided to bade goodbye to my Iswara. Shopping for my car is quite like a love affair ... it was love-at-first-sight. My hubby and I almost immediately fell in love with the little-known red colour Citroen Picasso. We were very excited about this 2.0 liter car ! It was a dampener when almost all the people I know responded like ... " huh ... what kinda car is that ? ". Cant blame them, I myself also first-contact with this car.

Its French car.... an european car... beats me why they call european cars as "continental cars". Europe can hardly be considered as a continent... doesnt seem to make sense to me though. Anyway, no matter... :)

My parents almost dropped their jaw and shake their heads when they found out that we didnt test-drive this second-hand car that we were buying. I am no technician, even if I do test-drive, I doubt that I would be able to detect any faults or what. So why bother... right ?

After that it was all the documentation hassle, and a 2 month wait before I actually get to drive my Picasso.
