Vroom...Vroom...
Lisa is looking to buy a car because her daughter is going to start driving soon, I am thinking about buying a new car because my intention is to give mine to my son when he graduates from high school next year. Lisa is going to buy something totally different than I am because she is a different person in a whole different place than me!
I have been wanting a convertible. I have a thing for convertibles. I try to always rent one when I rent a car, they make driving more fun, it's like a vacation for me. I drive around in it and people smile and chat with you. Men flirt at the gas station and on the road too. When you drive a convertible, it puts you in a carefree state of mind. In California, we get to really use the car with the top down. Most days and evenings warrant going topless.
I have just been thinking about cars but haven't gone to look or drive any of them. I do admire convertibles as I drive past them. I also see people driving with their tops up on our beautiful, sun shined days and wonder what is wrong with them? I adore the free wheeling feeling I get from them, the fresh air, just wrapping my arms around having a great time. It doesn't take much to please me, does it? Before I buy, I need to convince my Dan this is the way for us to go. He is very set in his ways and kind of stodgy when compared to me. I think we need a car that says, "fun for the weekend!" I, of course, want to have fun driving no matter what, but that's just me! I have always said I wanted a convertible, so this is nothing new to him. I know the dangers and I want one anyway, it's just how I am. I don't know if I would buy a used one or new one. I like new because everything is new and it's mine to do with as I wish. Used would be fine, I like the price, I don't mind used because I really wouldn't plan to take my car out of the state really. We usually take Dan's car on big road trips. I am open to check it all out and find the best thing to serve us.
So, I like a few cars, they stopped making my dream car which would have been a Toyota Solara convertible. I think those were beautiful automobiles. I would be lucky to find a good deal. I like Mini-Coopers and the Volkswagen Bug, there is a new Bug on the street but I really like the old ones too. I would love a Mustang convertible but it might be too much car for me and I could wind up with a lot of speeding tickets. That wouldn't be good since I seem to swing one every year and I have a Toyota Corolla at this point. I managed to get a ticket in it in the desert going 96mph in that so I just don't know about that Mustang? Although, I did have a bright, red, beautiful convertible for almost 3 weeks and stayed out of the way of the police. I used to adore Sebring convertibles but not so much anymore. There are lots of Mercedes convertibles out there, I could buy a used one but I am just not a Mercedes girl. It seems pretentious, even though it is a good car. Don't think I can even entertain the price of an Audi convertible so I won't. I have considered a Smart Car but I fear I could be smarter than my car? I would totally get off on having an old El Dorado Cadillac convertible or an old Buick, Pontiac or Oldsmobile but I fear the upkeep on it would be too much to keep up with. There are so many choices and I haven't even mentioned them. When the time comes, I will sit down with Dan and we will figure out the best thing at the time. I always tell Dan when things cost more money than we have, this might be the last one I buy, honey! He looks at me like I am crazy but I think it rings a bell with him. I have not really driven a car for more than 5 years, I intend to drive my next car for at least 10 years. Bottom line, it is just a mode of transportation. But, I want a convertible. Vroom, vroom!
