Our friend Ken tuned up the van for me last Sunday. Brought the spark plugs to me in a baggie...they were DRIPPING in oil....he looked me in the eye, shook his head and said.....when I took the spark plugs out...oil POURED out of each hole. You need to get rid of this van like TODAY!!!!
Seeing as how it was Sunday afternoon that wasnt an option....so my plan was to baby it this week till I got back from Mom's (pre-planned trip' up there to help her paint), that I would take Freddy's truck up there etc and look for a car this week.
Well I drove to work Monday morning...part way anyway. About half way to work I realized I had burned thru an eighth of a tank of gas, and it wasnt running quite right, especially since it had been tuned up the night before. So I turned around, drove home and made calls and got on the internet looking at cars, and getting pre-approved. By lunchtime I was pre-aproved at a Toyota dealership, so I went and picked up Freddy and James, and off we went. They were able to work me a deal on a new one only, due to the incentives available and what not, was the only way to get out from under the van and all....I was not gonna complain!! Ive never owned a brand new car....this baby only had 29 miles on it when we test drove it.
By that evening...was the proud new owner of a brand new 2009 Toyota Matrix Sport. I LOVE THIS CAR!!! Great on gas mileage, super cute, sporty, love the dashboard and the seats inside (feel like the old Ricaro race seats, they wrap around you nice) and lots of neat features. And its the bigger 4 cylinder so when you step on it...it goes, let me tell you. So, BYE BYE mom mobile van......and good riddance! Momma is LOVING her new ride!!!
