I am getting it (i.e., leasing it) BUT it is not for I per se (though it will be on my name & on my dime (though, alas, the lease is much more than a dime)).
You can work out who it is for.
She (if you can imagine it) is EVEN FUSSIER & PICKY than I when it comes to cars! Not sure where she gets that from.
We had agreed, earlier in the Summer, on Chevy Trailblazer because it was the right size & KIND OF in the right price bracket (though I really can’t afford another car).
Well it had to be AWD (& I was OK with that), HAD TO BE ‘Sterling Gray‘ & it HAD TO HAVE A MOONROOF. Not a sunroof — the panoramic, full-length moonroof. Yes, I have moonroofs in both of mine — so she wanted one too. NONE of this was negotiable. It had to be exactly this.
WOW. WOW. WOW.
Getting one in GREY, with AWD & Moonroof was NOT easy.
We could order one but it could take 4 months (& that is ahead of the looming strike).
I spent 3 days making calls & Googling.
This was the ONLY ONE within 300-miles.
When I found it, via Google, it was in transit.
It arrived in New York this weekend.
Things I do …
SMILE. Not complaining … other than on the price.
