Just call her Winnie...

Car Shopping Lamentation

by Sarah Cato

There has to be a better way

to purchase a new car,

than haggling with a salesperson

and traveling to towns afar.

A better way would be if one

could walk right in and see

the real price for the truck you want,

then write a check and leave.

If there was no deceitfulness

nor were there smoke and mirrors,

folks wouldn't have to shop

what seems like twenty years!

We found a truck!  We actually liked the salesman who sold it to us, and are so thankful that that part of this process is over!  

We think her name is Winnie Cooper, because it gives us all the nostalgic, comfy, fluffy Wonder Years feels, and those are kind of representative of part of what we hope this coming season will be for us.  There is, however, some quiet rumbling that the name should be Vin, the Diesel, to help me remember which kind of fuel to put in it. I'm actually pretty nervous that I will absentmindedly put gas in it, but we're about 85% sure that Winnie has already stuck and it's too late to change it.  

Now we just have to secure an RV and we will be ready for what's next!
