We interrupt the regularly scheduled blog for this important announcement ....... insert drum roll ......... I have a new car! Okay, so it's new to me. We will have been in Juno Beach for a year, come March. With our other car at home, in Arizona, I've either been stuck at the RV Park all day long or I had to get up at 5 a.m. to take Hubby to work so I could have our Chevy 3/4 ton extended cab 4 x4 pickup truck (that's a mouth full!) to drive around. In a "Palm Beach World" of Bentleys and Jaguars it's not much fun to park, what my youngest daughter calls, The Beast. Plus, it rides like a - truck.
So last weekend we went shopping!
So last weekend we went shopping!
We came home with this wonderful 2010 Dodge Caliber SXT (whatever that means). Now I don't have to rent a car when friends/family come to visit and we have a more fuel-efficient vehicle for our sightseeing excursions.
Not only is it low mileage, low price (which Hubby likes) it is pretty well loaded with reclining rear seats and a glove compartment with a place to keep water bottles or cans cooled! I'm thrilled!
Our daughters are pretty well horrified that we would choose to drive a car that is Key Lime Green but I love it and think it fits into our new Florida lifestyle pretty well. Plus - I'll never lose it in a parking lot! Anyway, since it reminds me of my favorite Florida dessert, I'm nicknaming my new car "Pie." And I bet you thought this post was about a pie recipe.
hi there!

Hi Candy!
ReplyDeleteAwwww I love your new lime pie! I think the color looks great and is perfect for Florida! It has to be so nice to get around after having driven the "beast" for a while Lol! Although I have to say we have a red pickup truck (Big Red) and she's my favorite thing to drive! Yes she IS a girl! *winks* Vanna
Nice and Key Lime seems to be a great color:)
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you! It's a beauty! You will save a bunch in gas on your future excursions. Enjoy it girl, you deserve it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute car, love the color! That would be so much more convenient, happy for you. I leave a Saturn Vue here parked at my daugter's too so I always have a vehicle to use when I am in Florida.....Christine
ReplyDeleteI love it...you won't miss it for sure! Maybe even I will know which car to get into? No, probably not!!
