My Automobile

We have a new car!

Well, new to us, sort of: the husband just arranged to buy a 2011 Honda Pilot in Qatar.  It's exactly like the 2011 we traded in for the 2012 Pilot we have now...with a few upgrades: leather seats, a sunroof, and a rear camera.  Nice! 

Now, I'm still terrified of driving in the Wild, Wild East of Qatari roads, with kamikaze roundabouts, lorries with a license to kill, very few traffic lights, and massive, ever-changing traffic diversions, but at least I will be driving in a familiar car, so that's good, right? 

So, now the husband just has to work out all the financing (it's a very different process there--for instance, the bank takes out insurance on the car...maybe?  We're still learning the details.) and, before we leave here, I have to sell our current Pilot back to the dealership.  But, if all goes well, at least this will be one part of our transition that will be completely smooth, moving from one Pilot to the next--and those leather seats will help!
