2006 Suzuki Forenza and a Blown Headgasket

So, I went to leave work on Saturday and after turning on my car there was quite a ruckus and white smoke started blowing out of my exhaust, so I parked it, turned it off and let it be. It's been there ever since. From everyone I've asked, it seems to be a blown head gasket. Which is not an easy or a cheap fix. So after a lot of stress and worry I've decided on getting a new car.

The hardest thing about this is that I am upside down in my car right now. I owe 4.5K, the car is worth 3.8K, to fix the car it would be about 1.5K... soo it's just a bad situation in general. So Skyler and I decided that instead of sinking the money in my Suzuki we are just going to look for a new one, annnnnnnnnnd I found it.
I've already been qualified for it.
Are you ready?!?!?


It's a 2013 Mazda Mazda2 Touring! 
I am so excited for it right now.

Don't get me wrong, I have not signed any paperwork yet and I haven't even seen the vehicle so it's not guaranteed. I am going to see it tomorrow night though!! 


My payment is going to go up.. which is not cool. I'm paying $170 and the Mazda payment will be $250. 
le-sigh
Although, it's going from a 2006 to a 2013 and I'm rolling over a balance.. sooo I guess I can't really complain. Ya dig?
HOWEVER! My insurance won't go up... kindof.
I want to switch from StateFarm to Allstate. If I stay with StateFarm I will pay $86 a month. If I move to Allstate I will pay $86, but I can get a little toggle thingy discount where it tracks how I am driving and I get a discount, bringing me down to $74. 
Sooooo I would actually save $0.94 by switching to Allstate!!
I'd rather save a dollar than pay more than $10 more....

I also have some good news that I can't quite say yet!! 
I will be able to announce it later though!
