So, I did it. Sort of.
I decided that life is too short to drive around in an SUV all summer. But instead of getting a new car, which I don’t need, and couldn’t justify, I bought a used Eos. 2008, white (again) with (this time) black interior. Pre-Bluetooth so my phone doesn’t connect to the sound system for hands-free. But it’s a convertible, it drives great, is familiar (because I had a similar one, a bit nicer, a 2009 with beige and wood interior) a few years ago. That’s the car that I had for so short a time period that my daughter doesn’t even remember it. But anyway, I got a good price (and practiced my negotiation skills) and have been driving everywhere with the top down since Friday night.
Wil will be learning to drive on this and I think it’s a good car for that too. Good pickup, easy handling. Small enough to maneuver easily. Now if his dad will just get the paperwork from the insurance company documenting that Wil’s insured, we can get out there and drive.
In the meantime, I’m having a blast.
