on winning a car (the end)


(see part 1 here and more here)

winning a car is crazy. there is such a thrill the day that they call you with the news. then you get to pick the colour (i picked bright blue). then you have to get your picture taken with the managers and a stand-in car for the local newspaper. then you wait for 3 or 4 months. then at the last minute something comes up where you realize you would rather have an SUV. that's what happened to me. so i traded in the car i won for the car in the picture above. i owned the other bright blue car for 2 minutes. i never even set foot in it. everyone says that a new car loses value the moment it is driven off the lot. i can tell you that actually, the value is lost the moment you own it.

so now we are the happy owners of this sweet little SUV. we have never owned a brand new vehicle before, and i must say, it feels so good.
