My new ride

After many years of loyal service, it was decided that I had to say good-bye to my beloved 'JC' (my Jeep Cherokee). I was concerned it was getting just a little too old to be reliable, had over 200,000 miles and started leaking lots and lots of oil. Sorry to all of you who had JC leave his mark in your driveway.

So, I got a brand new car - a Mazda Tribute. I really wanted it to be black, but then I would have had to get a beige interior and I wanted a dark interior - so I went back and forth and back and forth and decisions have never been my strong point. I got the Stormfront Gray with the dark interior.

All was well for a whopping 5 days until on my way to work one day I was sitting at a stoplight and got rear-ended! So much for having a brand new car.

So, it doesn't look like too much damage. But it took over a week to get it fixed. Luckily the other guy's insurance covered the repairs and my rental car.

My new..... finally fixed.... car.
