With Aaron off to college and taking his car we are down to two cars, one of which is only driven on special occasions. Both the vehicles we have are Mike’s, his every day truck and his special occasion 1966 Mustang. So with Aaron taking his car, I’m down to no vehicle. I’ve been driving Mike’s truck which means he’s been putting miles on the Mustang.
We’d been out once doing some scoping of what’s out there. I had a Saturn Vue for years that I loved. It was perfect but it died. Since then we’ve gotten along with Aaron’s car and the truck. It was fine since his Freshman year Aaron didn’t take his car to Madison. This year is different.
This long weekend was the time to find me a vehicle. We went to several places. Can you believe the first two not a salesperson approached us. Nope we wandered the lots looked over styles and at one dealer even walked through the show room!
After several test drives we settled on a Ford Escape. I love it! This winter I’ll be all snuggy in heated seats. I’ve joined the 21st century with voice activate phone and Sirus radio in my vehicle. I’ll enjoy the sun roof my answer to Mike’s convertible. So now I’m set to travel in style! Once I figure out how to use all the things this vehicle can do.
