New Wheels

Some of my regular blog friends may recall the horror

stories of my dear mini van over the last year.

The bald tires that would hydroplane me during rainy

days, the power steering belt that popped off twice

while I was driving over 55 mph, the broken compressor

on the A/C, the dead horn, the dead cruise control, rust,

broken gas cap cover, broken hub cap and last but not least

those possessed wipers that would not run in the rain but

would come on full speed when the van was off and the

keys in my hand! Oh my, did I need new wheels!

When the necessary safety repairs (not any

cosmetic ones) totalled $2000, we

knew it was time to let it go. They gave us $500

for it at trade in, and The Mister said they were being

extremely generous. ha-ha!

So, here is my new (to us) Jeep Commander.

Everything works! It's a pleasure drive.

I'm loving the V8!

I'm so very thankful!
