Lorena’s new car

Day 548 of 1000

Lorena's new commuter car (2013 Ford Fiesta)

Ken’s Lorena’s new Ford Fiesta

When I wrecked my pickup and learned it was totaled, I thought I was going to get a nice little used commuter car.  Well, I failed that.  I bought an absolute lemon.  Lorena was the one that figured that out.  She was also the one who took the car back to the dealer and got our money back.

About that experience she said, “I LOVE to do that!”

So, I thought I would go out and get the cheapest/best new economy car I could find as I was such an obvious failure at finding a decent used car.  I checked it all out and it came down to a choice between the Ford Fiesta and the Honda Fit.  After seeing them, it was a no-brainer to buy the Fiesta.  After work, Lorena, Christian, and I went down to the dealership in the Accord to pick up the new car.  Lorena checked it all out while I was filled out the papers.

When everything was complete, she said, “You can drive the Honda home.”

The upshot is that I really did not buy myself a new commuter car.  I bought Lorena a new commuter car.  I am at my desk at work writing this post having driven here in the Accord.  I still have not driven the car, but Lorena did let me sit in the drivers seat for about two minutes.
