I said I’d explain why I bought the Lexus. For some reason I have a guilt issue with the car. Kinda weird but I do and I always feel like I have to explain. So here’s the reasons (careful I’m still in a whiney-I-can’t-leave-the-house-I-feel-caged-in mood)

1. It will last a looooong time ’cause it’s a glorified Toyota
2. It’s pretty
3. It talks to me
4. The seats are WAY comfy
5. It has a sunroof
6. I always wanted one (well, when they came out with this look)
7. I don’t wanna buy another car ANYTIME soon
8. My son’s friend’s momma works for the Auto Mall this was sold at and was AWESOME and assisted me in finding the perfect salesperson (yes, I said *Perfect* Salesperson)
9. It’s automatic everything
10. It has GPS (I can GO anywhere! and not get lost!)
11. With the maps feature, I feel *free* and can just go for a drive and not worry about getting lost
12. Yes, it turns heads (okay, I’m being honest)
13. It’s flippin’ fast for an ‘ole folks car (3.5L V-6 303 HP)
14. It was cheaper than the two vehicles I had (figure I just swapped two for one and for less $$ monthly is all)
15. ‘Cause I wanna!
16. Nice interior
17. It has a camera so that when you are reversing you can see exactly what’s behind you. THIS is awesome ’cause we have so many little kids in the neighborhood it makes me so nervous to back out… with the camera, I can see it all!
18. The headlights swerve with you in a turn… wait, I mean they TURN with you in a turn. LOL hmmm….
19. The fuel economy is better than the mustang City 21/ Hwy 29
20. The ride is Smoooooooooooooooothe

There…. it’s all out.

Oh gosh I am SO going crazy without being able to drive. Seriously. I feel absolutely CAGED at this moment. There’s a car, just 10 feet from me sitting in the garage. Wanna see it?

I’m going to be very specific here for a moment. This is not a bragging post okay? I’ve heard so many things about this car but they are not reasons I purchased it. I’ll go into it in a minute here. First and foremost I don’t CARE what kind of car it is… but let me just say, I’m in a bit of a *huff* right now ’cause I have a vehicle and I cannot drive it! ARGH!

On June 14th I got my license suspended on a medical suspension. Oh fer… I understand, I get it… but 6 months? (** Caution RANT starts here **) What is 6 months gonna do?! Will I be CURED in six months? No. Does it make anything safer? No. I get their reasons, and I’m all for protecting folks. But puhlease! (** Massive amounts of whining WARNING **)

The reason I showed ya the car is because it’s not cheap. SO I’m paying a fortune (yes, my decision I know) for the car to sit in the garage.

Oh, I can sit in it.

I can roll it down the drive way and then back into the garage…

I can ask my hubby to drive it so I can sit in the passenger seat.

(** Feeling Guilty Here Complaining right about – NOW **)

Okay, I guess my rant is over. But call me a whiner, or whatever first comes to mind… the fact is, I live in the middle of nowhere with no public transportation and I have to ask my husband for rides ANYWHERE. Yes, I’m feeling caged in. *humph*

Please forgive the rant… but I’m gonna pull my hair out.

I’m gonna put a counter on the side of my blog. It will look hideous, but it will count down the number of days until I can drive. Maybe it will make things better….

Mon
