Never before have I had either the top-of-the-line or the best-warranty-available. Ok, technically, there was one model up that was the leather seats, but I honestly don't care about that, so there you have it.
I was soooooo tied up in knots worrying that something just wouldn't work out, but I am now the proud owner of a new . . .
Toyota Prius.
I certainly have given up all semblance of being able to haul anything. The van was great to me and many others, and I had to thank it for that.
And now, I have what Consumer Reports says is one of the most reliable cars around. Right now in my life, that takes the cake.
I haven't really even seen the car in the light, so the entire interior has a blind-man's feel to it. Later (about three HOURS later -- I couldn't sleep) when the sun comes up, I'm gonna look at it.
It even has built-in navigation.
I want to publicly thank my beautiful and strong wife. I'd have had a mental breakdown several times this last month while trying to get the van fixed if it weren't for her. And last night, I was a ball of stress about it all. God, I'm so lucky to have her!
