Good bye my love!

So we did it. We bit the bullet and traded in our beautiful Infinity M35X this past weekend. We're both pretty sad about it.
When Spencer initially got it, he was a manager with Platinum and they were giving him a car allowance. Half way through the summer, we were informed that if Spencer's office didn't hit certain sales numbers, the allowance they had been giving us would be an advance. So we pretty much got the car with the expectation that the company was going to pay for it.
We got the car when the economy was great. Since it's gone down so much over the last year, so has the value of our car.
We decided to cut our loses and trade it in for a 2004 Honda Accord. It was a long afternoon and evening, and I'll be honest, it ended in a few tears.
(it's not hard to make a pregnant girl cry when you've been at a car dealership for 5 hours with no food, talking numbers and the amount of money you are losing)
but we feel like we did the right thing!
Just thought I'd let ya'll know about our big decision this last weekend!
