IT IS TRUE, I am an official owner of a 2005, Silver Volvo s40 T5 with 48,000 miles on it. It is absolutely gorgeous, and I couldn't be any happier with it! We ended up finding one online that was located in Charlotte. Marshal, who is an owner of a 2004, Red s40 T5, went and test drove it for us. After he gave us the OK (except for the tires... they were completely shot) we considered it some more, negotiating with the dealer to include new tires and lower his price, and Molly & Marshal test driving it one more time... we decided this was the one! We signed all the papers that arrived in the mail, shipped them back, Kyle got everything figured out with USAA, and the car was ours! Molly & Marshal were coming down to GA for the Habitat build, so as if they hadn't done enough already, they offered to drive the car down to us. They arrived Friday night, with a huge bow on the hood for me... I couldn't believe it!
A very excited Leah!

The inside (sunroof , leather, free floating console!)
Marsh & I with our matching cars:
The great part about it is that it's still under warranty until 50,000 miles so if there are any problems right away, we can get it fixed for free! We can't thank Molly & Marshal enough for what they did for us. Taking time out of their busy schedules to do all the test drives, and then drive separately down to Georgia spoke wonders for how good of friends they are. You guys are the best and we hope you know we would do the exact same for you!Also a special thanks to Kyle. There is no way I would have ever found this car, or been able to get it by myself. He worked so hard everyday negotiating with the dealer, figuring out USAA stuff and so much more. Thank you sweetie... I LOVE IT!
The rest of the weekend was awesome, spending time together. Molly designed a Special Buddies cereal box (watch Rob & Big if you want to know) for Marsh & Ky. Not only did it have a fun crossword puzzle with words about their "bromance", but hilarious nutrition facts and more images on the back. You guys are hilarious.
Sunday we went to the battlefield and let the dogs do some swimming in the creek. Tupelo & Tyson absolutely love each other and had a ball all weekend playing. Thanks again guys for making the drive... what a fun weekend!
