Cool. You'll get used to the new car. Just takes awhile.


I have some goofy ear stuff...noise damage...
I think the biggest thing will be learning "how to hear" in it. Spacial difference thing.
I can see our of it really good all around, that was the first criteria for me. If I wasn't comfortable with being able to see out the back it would have been over.

Back around 2004 or 2005 I was looking at the Chrysler 300. Sat in one and got the heck out. Nope no way no thank you ! Turned my head to see out back and felt I was in a tank with a peep hole.

    Good morning. I’d like to say I slept in but wouldn’t really call it sleep since I woke at 4 and tossed and turned since then.
    I just got up when I woke this morning. I knew trying to get back to sleep wouldn't happen.

    Somewhere between here and there
    As far as the Sam’s and Costco discussions go, we have both. We had Sam’s for years and I have the premium membership so I get free shipping and cash back on stuff. It pays for itself. I can order my coffee and non perishable items and have them shipped for free. We just signed up for Costco this year with a basic membership but have found a few things there that we like better than Sam’s has like the trail mix and frozen fruit I use in my morning smoothies.

    Is good to be able to see good around you.

    Some of the new cars are really hard to see what's coming up behind you. I had a loaner gmc Terrain and it was horrible. I'd love an old Volvo wagon, no trouble seeing around you in those. Or the AMC Pacer LOL :)

    I had a 4runner once, 2000 model, and I loved it. The 4runner is the bigger version of the Rav4. We called it Magic, after the Disney Magic cruise ship, which dd and I took a cruise on when she was not quite 4yo. Ever since then, we have named our cars.

    My mom named my first car O.J. It was a 1975 Buick Century sorta browny orange that reminded her of Orange Julius. After that, I named all my cars. A red mustang named Merlin,
    White Accord coupe named Liberty
    Red Accord coupe named Lucy and,
    for the past many years, a Celestial blue Accord named, Luna.
    Admittedly, I probably get too attached to my vehicles. I think it dates back to when I was very little and my Gran used to make us all pray when we got in her '50's something Plymouth. We prayed it would start and we prayed it would get us back home. :laugh:

    BCF order arrived.
    4oz of the Pur Condensed Milk (I sure hope it's good...)
    10ml of the Almond Custard to try (smells really good)
    and a bottle top opener thingy
    Oh, my. You bought 4oz without ever trying it? Sure hope you love it.
