Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for April 24, 2016

I got EVERYTHING with my present car. It is my mid life crisis vehicle. I later talked to the salesman and he was amazed at how many options and packages I took. I saved for years and I wasn’t gonna scrimp.

Indeed. I kinda like having all the options. My next car will probably be the same since I want all the fancy new safety tech and most manufacturers only put those on the ultra-rhodium package.

“But how much more does the deluxe package cost?”

“Oh, just pennies more per month, and aren’t you worth it?”

“Yeah, I am!”

…and $2000 extra for Navigation. Or, you can use you navigation on your phone for free.

Thus and so the reason my car and truck both are 11 years old with less than 50K on ‘em.. I know where I am when I get there and know my way back (coast to coast) and the A/C works like this;On/Off,Adust. knobs tune the radios and buttons adjusted the seats 11 years ago. All I ever wanted for my first REAL NEW CAR waz power brakes/steering/windows and the ability to pay for all that technology! (sigh) Nuthin’ like pulling up to a stranger in a strange city with the window sliding down asking said stranger where the Citgo Station was, being pointed/directed, thanking said stranger and driving away with the window rolling back up to home position. Gone are the days.
