My husband taught me how to drive





CARS, CARS, CARS, my almost six year old son knows every make and model of any car that we see when we are driving around town.  Every year around my husbands birthday is the Los Angeles Auto Show, we go every year, that is what he wants as his birthday present.  I came from an immigrant family and mentality of buying a car, so I never even considered leasing until I got married.  I have to say, I prefer it, I usually had cars forever until they croaked and during that time so much money goes to tires and anything and everything else that can go wrong.  I think you always pay, either payments or repairs, and now especially as a mom with little kids, I don't want to be stranded on the side of the road, or have a car constantly breaking down.  Our lease just came up on both of our cars, so we got a small hybrid and just recently the car in the pictures above, the deal was amazing, but my husband looks at every detail and for him the gas mileage is not as good as he wants it, although he knows that it takes time to actualize.  So we want to transfer the lease, here are the details.

My husband Sam is also an auto broker, he gets amazing deals, has connections to body shops, insurance, and financing, please call him with any car question, he can talk about it all day.

I have always been more a sporty car person, at one point we had the Honda Odyssey fully loaded with a video in the back for the kids, and a button to open all the doors even the trunk.  It was just not for me, and I know with people with more than three kids there are not many choices.  I love our four door hybrid and recently my husband explained to me that when I stop at a stop sign, I shouldn't accelerate too hard because that takes away from the fuel mileage, so now I am just driving calmer.  Even if people behind me want to speed or honk, I will pull over, because now I am excited to get 35-40 miles per gallon.  I am always running from one thing to the next, and before would love to play those car video games and get around every car, I am not transformed into a calm, calculated gas saving mode kind of driver, Thank you husband.  Now I just need to give myself a little more time, but the funny thing is they say even if you speed you may only save five minutes, with traffic and lights it usually doesn't help you get places any faster.

Calm, Cool, Collected and Cruising,
Coach Yulia
