Wink Parents driving me bonkers to drive!

I am stunned over this!

They bought a 2009 Chevy Malibu which drives awesome. It's just a pain getting in & out of it. Plus, I don't like the windshield all up in my face either. They got it with the cash for clunkers deal. So, in April I got my Honda Fit. Like Mom, I searched for weeks or longer finding me a new car to trade. I was hooked when I saw the Fit & even more so after the test drive.

They've had their Malibu for 11 months & hardly drive it. Me & the Fit together almost 3 months. They love my car more & want to drive it. They are a hoot. Anyone else dealing with similar issues? LOL!

Mom took 1 look at it & didn't like it. She never looked at the inside or test drove it. Dad tried. I've told them to trade the Malibu in on it. They want to pay it off 1st.

just lowering it will probly keep most people from wanting to drive it.

Yeah, but they got what they wanted. Each time they say something about driving mine, I tell them, you got a Malibu.

The Malibu drives very smooth, but I feel like I'm in a cramp boat with the windshield all in my face. Then you have to be a contortionist to get in & out of it. I won't drive it unless I absolutely have to.
