Well, here she is. Fifty-four feet and two tons of beauty, grace, and soooo smooooooth! Well, I exaggerate a bit – about the length and weight, but it kinda feels like that when I’m in it! But the smooooooth part is not exaggerated one bit. O my goodness. I don’t know if I’ve ever ridden in a car that has that smooth of a ride. They are doing major tear-up work on 41st east of Colby to tie in to all the freeway work they’ve been doing. We drove over a section where they’ve stripped the top layer of blacktop off. You know how rough that can be? Well, maybe you don’t. Our van didn’t really have any shocks (or struts) to speak of. I was used to a pretty rough ride. And if I remember correctly, the minivan is built on a truck chassis anyway. But this car – I can’t believe I’m driving such a luxurious car. NOW, it is old. It has a lot of miles on it (147k). And with that in mind, there are a few things… But I gotta tell you, when I depress the accelerator, it GOES!!! And when I get in, and turn the key, the seat goes back to where I left it. Why does it have to do that? Because when I turn it off, it moves back to give me room to get out. J How fun! I am so thankful. Got this from “our” mechanic – goes to our church, owns his own shop, and he’s honest. And we told him we needed a car that would give us 3 years, at least, of good, reliable service. This is what he had. Plan to have it paid off in about 15 months, Lord willing, and then continue to put the payment into the bank to hopefully build up a nice down payment on something that will be more in line with what I would like eventually. At this point, that looks like a dark blue Jeep Liberty. Cute, huh? That’s all for now. We are thankful for what we have, and if you come visit, would love to give you a ride in our piece of unexpected luxury!
