party time

This afternoon, Judy invited us to a party at her place. It was the first cookout of the year. We had a great time and boy am I stuffed! That’s what eating for two hours straight will get you, I guess. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to stay long because we have some things to attend to this evening, but I was glad we could make it.

On the way home, I wanted to stop at the Toyota garage and look at the Corollas. Why is it that they put the cool cars next to the boring ones? Look, there’s nothing wrong with a Corolla, but it’s not exactly the most exciting car in the world. I happen to be a person who is into cars. Your standard sedan just doesn’t do it for me. I know I should be happy that I can afford to buy a new car even if it is boring, but I’m not. Enter: Scion. Toyota has a new brand of cars out called Scion. They had some sporty little models parked right by the Corollas (much to my chagrin). However, a quick perusal of the invoice showed that they are in my price range. I suppose a two-door sports coupe doesn’t exactly fill the “family car” roll very well. But damnit, I should get to buy a car I like. I don’t know anything about these Scions, so I guess I have some research to do and then possibly a decision to make before next weekend.

Sports car vs. sedan. Maybe I’m having my mid-life crisis early.
