By SWMBO graduated and now is a Respiratory Therapist. She has a 90 mile round trip to work with 12 hr shifts so she gets a 2015 Honda Accord. Nice car, fun to drive......

I'm a former RT, and I didn't get a new car to celebrate. :cross:

Nice car!

They both look great and the background ain't to bad either.

She's gonna let you drive it, right?

Yooper, why former RT? You didn't like it? The schooling was pretty brutal for her so I figured she deserves a comfortable ride with a long commute after 18 months of slave like internship

I always drive it on our weekend excursions. She don't like to drive with me as a passenger.....

I loved it! I became an EMT first, then a RT and paramedic. I worked nights, holidays, weekends, etc, even many 12 hour shifts on Christmas Day when my kids were little. After many years of that, I got old and tired and went into administration at the same hospital.

I retired after 31 years. But I still fill in, and work in the ED sometimes, in the office sometimes, in the clinic sometimes, and as what I call 'the Wal-Mart greeter' in the front occasionally. I work maybe 75 days a year, and go to South Texas in the winter for about 2 1/2 months to be warm.

I am no longer licensed as a paramedic or RT- I am happy being a peon and out of acute care after that many years!

Congrats to her! We are a Honda family too.

I support the choice of Honda - hope it works out well.

I have a 2013 CRZ and love it. Nice car!

A lot of sacrifices are made when working in the medical field. You sure deserve the easy life now. You've earned it. We are empty nesters now so it's a lot easier for us.
Thanks everyone......

The car is awesome. It looks fun to drive, and practical besides.

Last year, I decided that I (also an empty nester) didn't need a practical, four door, fuel efficient, good running car. I bought that when I was responsible and still had one teenager in school.

So I traded it in for a 2014 Jeep Wrangler, since I always wanted one. The ride isn't as good, the gas mileage is about half, there is no trunk (let alone a big one!), etc.

But, I have a JEEP!

Jeeps are fun glad you get to be non practical now. Lol. Cool license plate.....

Nice looking jeep color is awesome.
