It's all fixed, but now the air conditioner has died and the repair beyond the budget. I know, I should be able to live without an air conditioner in the car, but...
So, I'm ready to bequeath this Cooper to the boys and get a new one for me. I'm looking at low mileage used ones and new ones (they are all about the same price), all manual transmission (which some places do not even carry!). When I told Crash I was looking at a chili pepper red one, he said, "That's not you." White? "Sure, let's go with that." Math Man, bless his heart, said, "Of course, red!"
Do you think I can sustain a red car? I will point out that I already have a red piece of transportation -- the Fiat Lux! (That's The Boy at the helm...)
Oh Michelle, you are talking about what we call bad car karma around here; and we've had some, although we can't match your your situation.
ReplyDeleteFiat lux! I love that! And red may be where its at, very Pentecost! Filled with the Spirit, and wherever She is, well, you can see where I'm headed!
I love the idea of Pentecost red!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Fiat Lux is a quantum mechanics joke...it's a Laser!
ReplyDeleteI love cars and I absolutely would love a Mini; however, I have a sensible Corolla, albeit with a sports package but it is still a Corolla. Good luck car shopping - what fun! You deserve it after all that you have been through with cars recently. And you definitely need air conditioning.
ReplyDeleteMission accomplished...one chili pepper red Mini Cooper: with air conditioning!!
DeleteYes! Red! I like Fran's Pentecost imagery.
ReplyDeleteThe Boy suggested red with flames down the sides...I've stuck with "just" red!
DeleteYeah, Michelle. I love just the unadorned red. Subtlety is always the better course, I say. :-)
Delete:)!!
