Let’s get one thing clear. I’m worse than a kid at Christmas, I have no self control when it comes to gifts.. surprises or anything of that nature. I just CAN’T STAND it! I burn up in anticipation; seriously it makes my tummy ill. So it is with the WAITING for my Prius. And the dealership keeps telling me a few more weeks.. blah blah blah.

Well, I paid a visit to the dealership just to see what else was out there… I have had this feeling that my truck was going to take a turn for the worse and I just didn’t want to deal. Alfonzo my dealer kept pushing the Scion XB on me. Previously, I couldn’t bring myself to even look at it. But this time I said why not, I test drove that puppy and a million other cars and I LOVED it! It was fun to drive and funny looking!

I borrowed it for a weekend and smiled and giggled every time I laid eyes on it. My daughter liked it too since it was much easier for her to get in and out of. The gas mileage was incredible, it was surprisingly roomy for its size, and the sticker price and warranty couldn’t be beat.

I bought that sucker! And as I get all the funny looks as I drive down the street, I laugh back because I know pretty soon they will have to take out a loan to pay for their gas! Not me! I plan to run this thing into the ground, and eventually make it an art car to promote my fine art, which I still have not posted on this site yet.

Anyway, it’s quite the adjustment going from this:

To this:

But it sure feels good on the ole budget!
