There’s no place like behind the wheel of a new car. There’s no place like behind the wheel…
I replaced my dying Saturn over the weekend. Here' is my new beauty.
I went into my insurance agent today to update my policy. The two ladies in the office looked out the window and did some probably obligatory cooing over my new car. They liked the color. It's called copper red micah. In the sun it really does have a copper feel otherwise it feels more red. At any rate, the little grandma-type lady who was helping me said it looked like "what's her name's ruby slippers." Now, it really doesn't look ruby ever, but it can sparkle if the sun is hitting right. The other lady exclaimed, "Oh, that's just what he wants to hear. That's not a very manly color!" I, of course, was getting a good chuckle out of the whole exchange and thinking, "Oh, honey. If you only had any idea what either one of you was talking about."
While we were reviewing my policy and the attending kick in the wallet a new car was going to bring, she noticed that I was 10 years accident free. I've actually never been in an accident, but 10 years is all they track. She seemed surprised. "Oh, my that's very good." Really? Is it really that rare that someone can go 10 years w/o an accident? That's pretty sad.
