"Just" get in, sit down, buckle up, and ride on...

We have spent most of this Spring Break Week, dealing with cars. First, my car needed an oil change, and my brake light was coming on at random, so Bob suggested this would be a good time to get those things taken care of. The dealership where I bought the car went out of business so we had to find a new service center, preferably one close to home AND one that deals with Chryslers. We chose Browning Cerritos Dodge because we had a mailer with coupons from them and they are close. The service agent was nice, listened to me explain the concerns we had (without laughing) and we left the PT there for its servicing. On the way home, we "just happened" by the Hummer dealer and "just happened" to drive in to "just" look. (Bob has never really been excited with his Chevy HHR, so we have looked at other cars to replace it before we go on our Mission to the wilds of Wyoming. We looked around, then left. Later we got the call that one PT tire had a split in it and in another there was a staple,AND the brake pads and rotors are in need of fixing or replacing. The prices were over the top, so we said just finish the service and we'll take care of the other problems. We left home again, went to Allen Tire where we found that we could get 2 tires and get the brakes fixed for a little less than half what we had been quoted at BCD. Picked up the PT, took it to Allen, one hour later all fixed! Next day, we "just happened" to be in Cerritos and we stopped by the Hummer dealer again, just to look, no we don't want to test drive, yes we'll sit in it, open and shut doors, etc. Thanks Victor--see ya :) Yesterday, we went to trade in my Fender guitar (which was too much for me to learn) at Moreys. I got a tenor Ukelele and carrying case and tuner so I am ready for the bluegrass band at Martin's Cove(highlight of each week there). Well, we were so close we decided to "just drop by" the Hummer dealership. Hello, Victor, here we are again. Well yeah, we'd like to drive it. Well, here is our bottom line on price. Sure you can figure it out and we'll see if you can meet it. We like the white one best because it has all the features we like and need. Sure, we'd love to meet your finance man--Hello A.J.--can you keep our payments near the level of the HHR payments??? Uh Oh.....you can come close?
GUESS What! We are now driving a white Hummmmmmmmmer 3. It is towable (behind the RV) but maybe we'll tow the RV behind the HUM3 (just kidding). I've always wanted a Hummer, but it will be Bob's car, "cause I still love my PTCruiser convertable. I'm sure I will be able to drive the H3 for groceries or something. (please, please, please)
Get in, sit down, buckle up, get ready for the urban assault vehicle ride!
Blessings: family (some of whom think we are nuts, but we love them anyway) ability to enjoy things we have wanted, getting ready for the Mission at Martin's Cove starting in 7 weeks, friends near and far (We miss you, Millers! Travel safe!) (Have fun times in San Diego, Del Bellos we'll miss you these 3 days!)
Negatives: I've got to clean the house!
Make it a GREAT DAY!
