I planned a trip back to Seattle during Easter break to see my parents, but most importantly to get my dad a new car. We had settled on a 2013 Kia Soul, as it was a good replacement for his old Mazda 5 mainly because of the high H-point and ease of entry and exit. Contrary to all the advertisements, old people love the Soul for this very reason. He wanted a backup camera and I wanted the 16” tires for better ride and cheapness for replacements. All told, with the company discount, we were able to get it for a fairly good price and it was the first new car my parents paid fully in cash for.
My sister came up on her own from Portland because her husband had just started a new job and couldn’t take time off. But she did bring up her new (certified pre-owned) 2012 Jetta GLI…in bright red to show off. We did the usual of eating too much and taking care of all the issues for my parents had been putting off until we came to visit.
