New Car

Well, it finally happened. Ruy and Lucy - Mari´s parents pictured below ....


finally bought a new car, trading up the old one they had for the last 16 years.


This car is a cute compact called a Chery QQ. It is an immense step forward in terms of drivability and comfort, and is a large sigh of relief when driving the hectic and sometimes jaw clenching Uruguayan streets.

A list of improvments:

1. the car actually starts and continues to run properly
2. the seat belts work perfectly.
   
3. there isn´t a nauseating smell of exhaust permeating the backseat
4. there is a radio
5. one can now use the heater
6. Its a 4-door instead of a 2-door
7. theres no longer a manual choke
