Because I’m Worth It.
I love new cars. New cars, used cars, anything that’s new to me, that is. I am a fickle girl when I comes to my vehicle. I start out loving it, and in a few years I’m ready to trade it in for something that hasn’t lost it’s sparkle and has that new-car-smell. (even the used ones do, they must use that spray?!) The Mazda MPV has become the Most Putzy Vehicle over the past year, and I am over it. It is so not metal! I want 4 wheel drive, I want to sit up high, I want power!
A while ago I thought it would be fun to have a Hummer. This was back when I was taking Tae Kwon Do. A big, pink, glittery Hummer, complete with spinners. I could just picture myself on my way to class, mowing down everyone on the street and then kicking everyone’s butt in the dojo. Maybe now I don’t feel like I have so much to prove, or maybe I just worry how everyone but Republicans would hate me–I don’t necessarily need them on my side. Not that I could have actually afforded one anyway, but the tree-huggers will be happy to know that I have moved on.
I have settled on a Nissan Pathfinder, (see above) somewhere in the 2001-2004 range. (I do realize that the tree-huggers would be happier if I was getting some sort of fart-in-a-tin-can hybrid or something, but again, not very metal!) It was no small task coming to that conclusion, either. I drove a lot of cars. I would drop Vivian off at her park program, and Sullivan and I would hit the dealerships. Aren’t car dealers a hoot? I swear, so many of them do not have ears. You tell them what you want/need/don’t want/don’t need and they try to sell you just the opposite. As we aren’t actually buying quite yet, it’s been satisfying seeing them trip over their feet as I walk out the door. Sullivan is just the cutest, too. He just sits in the back and tells me that each car is just perfect. Of course he wants a Cadillac or a Mustang convertable–the kid has good taste!
Anyway, the Pathfinder seems like a great vehicle, and I can get all of my luxurious whistles and bells along with it, in my price range. Because like Loreal hair color, I’m worth it. So–if you or anyone you know has one of these babies for sale, just let me know. Sullivan and I will come out and take it for a drive.
