New car

Went today and ordered our new car. My wife and I went together to make the final decisions on what to get, what options to request, etc. We are so thrilled to be able to do this. A dream come true in many ways. We use our car for so much, and are very much looking forward to getting something more reliable than the one we have right now.

After some significant delays (due to lunch hour, etc.) we were shown the various options we needed/wanted, and had taken one of the cars for a final test drive.

One of the funny things about this process was while discussing various options and accessories for the car. They offer undercoating here, just like car dealerships in America do. Funny thing to me since it rains only three months out of the year, and never snows, therefore they don’t salt the roads, etc. I don’t think I have ever seen a rusted out car here to the point of offering some incentive for getting the undercoating. We passed on that option.

Another funny thing was being asked “Do you want a fridge in your car?” Was not ready for that one. “A fridge? Uh . . . . . ummmm, well . . . . .no thanks.”

Turns out they have the car we want in stock, which surprised us quite a bit. There are a few small things they need to do to modify the car to be exactly what we need/want, so they said it would take about 3-4 days to do that work, and then we can go get the new car.

So, by mid-week next week we should be sporting around town in our new ride. Very exciting stuff for our family.
