IT'S A ...

2008 Chevy Impala SS 4 Door Sedan, 8 Cylinder, 5.3 Fuel Injected, Dark Silver Metallic exterior and Ebony interior, leather seats!
    And it came from Lee Hoffpauir in Marble Falls!  I'm especially excited about the "bun warmer", it will be so nice to get in the car and drive feeling the therapy on my lower back, which for the last almost 33 years seems to let me know it's there!
    Yesterday was such a stressful day, I know there are so many more happenings in life that are certainly moreso than purchasing a vehicle, but we really didn't want a car note this year, I was looking at 2011, but God has another plan.  Anyway, Raymond was so very nice, but it still feels like your privacy is being invaded, checking your credit, asking questions, they're typing away on the computer, you're wondering what they're looking at and how long this process is going to take.  Gads ... well actually, it didn't take that long, but it seems like it when you have 10 other things you'd rather be doing than sitting at a car dealership.
    So, after a couple of hours, waiting for the car to be washed, filled up with gas, I get in and head down Park Road 4, it's driving like a dream, having fun on the hills and curves ... so much fun!  And then I notice .... the Inspection Sticker, it expired in February.  Oh great!  Get home and decide to call Raymond in the morning, am going to have a glass of wine instead!!
    This morning I call, "Raymond, everything's great, BUT, Hoffpauir is supposed to inspect even new, used cars ... right?  Well, my inspection sticker shows Februrary 2010."  So, finish what I'm doing and head out Park Road 4 once again into MF, driving South on 281, minding my own business, no trucks in my lane and then POP.  Yup, two stones left their impression on my windshield, no cracks, but small indents ... I am so hoping they don't crawl any further until I can find that magic gel to stop them.  Bummer!  Well it is a used vehicle, but it's in great shape inside and out, think they indicated it was driven by a little old lady only going to church on Sunday!
    Life has returned to normal, we might have been able to live with only one vehicle for awhile, but then I think ... don't think so!  So my friends, drive safely and watch for the "rocks" coming from the opposite lanes, until next time ....
