Car shopping (part II)

First of all you'r probably wondering why i titled this with a 'Part II' Well!!! I just got finished writing todays blog and... well.... the joy of computers,... didn't press the 'SAVE' button. OK. Here it goes again...
Went car shopping with my trusty assistant 'MOM' today. First we went to the Toyota dealer, we waited for a dealer and finally said the heck with it and left... Let me backtrack....Mom and I went to Toyota last week but all the dealers were so bogged down with the 'cash for clunker' promotion that we left without seeing anyone. Then we went to the Honda Dealer ('Those Honda's are very good cars!' to quote an old '80's honda commercial) and talked to someone, told them we'd be back , and we were. This time around I spent time getting in cars... IN the driver's seat and OUT of the driver's seat.... Can I maneuver easily? can I see over the steering wheel? ( I'm a little old Italian lady that is a VERY important feature.) and Mom was like ' OK, get out this man wants to see the car' HEY MOM! I'm here buying a car too, can't he wait his turn!.....)(obviously I just thought this and didn't verbalize it for fear of getting the 'WRATH OF MOM!! lol) Then we went out into the lot, my arms are exhausted pushing through gravel... in the HEAT no less, and trying to keep up with Mom who walks soooooo quickly!! Well in the end I'll probably be heading back there Tuesday ( to Honda to buy the car.) Then it's of to the Mechanic to get the 'car-topper ' installed.....
