Girlfriend Got Herself a Truck!

A few weeks before I went to Costa Rica, I started to have a bad feeling about the Altima. It was a little bit more shaky. It idled just a little bit lower. I had a feeling that one day it would just be barely idling at a stoplight, and then, well, stop idling. I told Bridget this one day. A week later that's exactly what happened. I had just bought a new battery and got a new tire. But I am so grateful I was blessed enough to make it 40 of my 50 miles to work, all freeway, before, 1/2 mile from an auto repair shop, it died. They said it was probably the oil pan. They said that was about $1000 repair total. In essence, they said, girlfriend 220,000 miles is enough. Say good-bye to your Altima. I went to work, a little stressed out. I called Jonmark- and he was nice enough to come help me car shop after work. 

The request was a little bit unexpected....he usually dresses up better than this.. :-)

And I was looking a little tired. 

The Accord I almost went home with .....

I almost bought an Accord. I tried and tried to be excited about buying such a pretty car that drove so well and I was just bored. Bored and not excited. I tried to be. These nice guys helped me for like 3 hours. We even had dinner at Chipotle.


But I couldn't do it. Jonmark drove me home. Then he drove me to work the next day and hung out with his sister while I was at work. Then I asked him to just drive me by the Toyota dealership. I had a feeling. That's where I saw this truck. It's a 2012. It had 19,000 miles on it. It makes me smile constantly, and I feel like I have adventures just waiting to happen. The stickers are gone. And the little bitty seats in the back have car seat adapters just in case one of these days :-)
It's even better when you play Zac Brown Band in it.
