PAMELA'S NEW CAR

Jeanne's Equinox, Pamela's Honda, Calvin's Mach 1

Taken by Jeanne Ralston

The joke was that Jeanne inadvertently purchased a Mach 1 wannabe after she'd taken a speedy ride with Calvin down the county road and being caught out by her son.  Of course, I wanted color, I've been so tired of silver, gray, and black vehicles - a Mach 1 wannabe, too?  ROFL

"Rusty, I bought a new Honda Civic.  It's a pretty blue like Calvin's Mach 1."

He, my oldest son, was sitting at the kitchen table to my right and slightly distracted by something else at which he was studying.  

"It has low mileage."  

Rusty absentmindedly came back, "1200?"

"No, lower."

"400?"

"No, 3."

"300.  That's really good, Mom."

"No.  THREE." 

Finally.  He looked up!  Wide-eyed!  

LOL

My sister-in-law fell out of a dumping golf cart.  She and her daughter received some injuries, especially wrist strains.  Feeling really blessed by Dear Hubby and the Good Lord, I've decided to use my new car for good things like giving rides, and visiting sick and/or injured people.

So, this day I drove over to check on sister-in-law.

She was pretty sore, aches and pains here and there, with ace bandage around her wrist.  As I was leaving, I like to leave with a joke or a smile, I told her and my brother about my new intentions.

"I've got a new car, you know, so I drove over here in my old truck!"

LOL

My new car can drive itself.  It has backup camera, it has cruise control, it has options of Normal, Econ, and Sport mode, and it has lane assist.  It also senses light and will turn on and off, and/or dim the headlights.  It can tell you low tire pressure, time for oil change, and when someone pulls out in front of you.  That's when it flashes "BRAKE, BRAKE, BRAKE" simultaneously drastically slowing down the engine in split seconds!

There really isn't any need for my hands on the wheel!

I'm just waiting for that sucking sound.

Yep, that unpleasant sucking sound.

You know, the sound of my coffee being drained via the car cup holder while the dash flashes a warning, "CAFFEINE, CAFFEINE, CAFFEINE."

Quick, before it smells the sugar and sends out another warning,

"Dunk the donut!"

LOL
