I don’t live in a large enough city that public transportation is an option, so I’ve opted to own a vehicle. I’ve been through… many… vehicles in my lifetime. I’m indecisive, what can I say? Anyway, my most recent “fleet” was also a learning experience for me. Can you consider two vehicles a fleet?
I owned a 2004 BMW 325Ci and a 2005 Toyota Tundra SR5 Double Cab (see stock photos below, yay!). Both were fantastic vehicles, but I realized that owning two vehicles to achieve one goal was just plain stupid, especially when one of those gets 10mpg and can’t fit in downtown parking stalls. :S
(ahem, stock photos, but very close)
So, while driving down the main city strip, a gorgeous, metallic beast caught my eye at a dealership. With no intention to do anything but look, I stopped in. But when I left, I was driving an entirely different vehicle: a 2006 Nissan Murano SL. The picture doesn’t do it justice.
Heck, I didn’t know dealerships would take two vehicles on trade! So, now my duo is once again a solo. Hopefully, I won’t feel the need to change again for at least 2-3 years. Goals are good in theory…
So, the great thing about a Holiday is the time away from work. Provides you with ample time to… well, you know: work those long-ignored projects, catch up with family, and clean your damn house! But after the systems are built, the 100th “How’s life?” question (fine), and your house is all sorts of sparkly, what do you do?
I’ve got two weeks off from work, so I’ve had to find plenty of things to fill the void.
