Since joining steemit it has proved a life saver for our family in buying things in the real world. I've used it to buy treats for the family such as a BBQ and wendy shed for the girls as well as paying for more urgent things like a new bathroom and a new central heating boiler.
Today it came to the rescue again after our old car finally gave up the ghost and got us a new car. Well it's new for us and the wife got to choose it and bid for it at the car auctions. I'm in no way a petrol head and not into cars beyond doing what I need them to do so don't ask me any car questions but here is our new steem bought Mazda.
It's a 7 seater as I like to have plenty of space when the extra seats are down for loading it up to do tip runs or whatever.
Now I just have to work out what all the buttons on the dashboard but already I'm liking how it drives since picking it up this afternoon.
Is she driving much better than your last one?

Our last car was a really good car, never cost too much to upkeep but this one is a much better spec and really is nice to drive.

That is pretty cool, I know you have had to use it (steem) for emergencies, but to be able to replace an ailing car with steem, that is a great story. Enjoy those family outings in your new steem mobile.

Now that is wonderful - really good news (not that your car died, but that you were able to fund a replacement for it) - huge congratulations! :)

I love the new car, @alienbutt! And the fact it is a 7 seater. I like the extra room too. Comes in handy with kids an grandkids. I am glad that you have found steem to be useful for helping out. I am thankful that I haven't had to delve into my steem yet but it is such a good feeling to have it there for the unexpected things that life throws at you.

Amazing! This is proof that if you work hard to create quality content to post here, you can earn enough buy anything you need.
I've read posts here of people buying computers, phones, guitars, or other small items, but this is the first time I've seen someone buy something as expensive as a new car!
This is just the inspiration I need to put more effort into what I do here, and first on my list of things to buy with my future earnings is a new computer for my 3D work. :)
