A new car in my future?

Posting for Sunday, May 26th, 2013

I am not sure how many people know that I currently drive a 1996 Toyota Rav4.  We bought it from Audobon Chrysler in Henderson 10 years ago, and although it has been a good car, no major repairs since we have had it, a few minor things it had to go to the shop (or car doctor, if you will) from time to time.  It was originally my mom's car and I still had my beloved Pontiac Grand Am. 

When my Grand Am starting giving me fits, and it was too expensive for me to have it fixed, I sold it to a teenaged boy.  Then I took over as the primary driver of the Rav4 (which I like to refer to as "the little toy.")  Reminds me of those old timey cars at Holiday World. 

I was looking for cars online and came across this enticing 2005 red Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Edition and decided to take it for a spin.  I was all set to sign the papers to take it home but we couldn't get the payments low enough for me to afford.  The sales people were trying their best to talk me into a brand new Dodge Dart, I wasn't having any of it.  For one thing, I don't need a little sports car.  Yes,  it was cool.  Yes, it had lots of bells and whistles but I didn't "love" it.  I didn't like the unprofessionalism of the staff this visit and therefore, we will NOT be buying any more cars from them in the future.  Our ties have been severed.

I have found another little jewel that I really want to test drive.  A teal color 2009 Toyota Corolla, more down my alley.  Time will tell if it was meant to be mine, I will let ya'll know if it is parked in my driveway, trust me.
