Dawn of a new era...

Over the course of my first six years of driving I laid claim no less than eight different vehicles. One I wrecked. One threw a rod. One died of old age. Two were lemons. The rest were temporary transportation. On February 27, 2004, my history with cars took a dramatic turn. Having searched for many months my next car of choice, I held my breath and wrote a large down payment check, an irreversible commitment. Whereas before I had looked for cars that were good, this time I stopped at nothing short of excellence. While before I always looked for older vehicles to save cash up front, on this day I drove off a dealer's lot with a car that had only six miles on the odometer and no previous owners on its record.
