After window shopping, we went inside yesterday. "Just go sit in a few and drive one." We started at the Honda dealer where we bought that wonderful Accord back in 1996.
If I had remembered what has happened time after time over the past 33 years of marriage, I would have stopped by the bank and pulled the title from the lock box.
Let's go look at microwaves was his line back in 1983. Let's just stop and see what kinds of vacuums that resale/repair shop has in stock was his famous line back in 1975. OK, we'll stop in Kewanee and see what those rugs cost. (We were headed west on a week's vacation.)
Each time, we bought. Not fully prepared. Caught off guard. And yesterday, without the checkbook, we bought a new vehicle! (They'll put up to $2,000 on credit card.)
This morning, I will be late for work because we are going to the bank to retrieve the '98 Explorer title. [I emailed my boss.] Bob will sign the title before he leaves for the airport. I'll pick up the new van tomorrow!
Please, I'm certainly not complaining. We've put enough $ into repairs on our cars in the past year. None of these cars owe us. It had been 10 years since we've gotten a new car and 6 years since we purchased the used Olds. We had studied reports and visited websites for a few months.
Bob knows what he wants to buy next year to replace his Olds. We've never had a Toyota.
'til later
