So I did it… I’m gonna take it… I have a new car ❤️❤️❤️



Woo hoo!!! ❤️❤️❤️
It was so nice driving a car that I didn’t have to pray wouldn’t die on me!! And not having to open hood constantly and handle fluids 😝😝😝😝
It’s cool… it will be good for now!! And isn’t dying… I took it on the highway and to my mechanic guy (who is fricken balls awesome!!!) anytime I need him – boom he does it!! Such a sweetheart… (but I don’t really think he is?? Maybe is just with me?… cause a customer was walking out and says shop is so busy all the time and he’s such an asshole 😮😄… I said …eh well he IS that good (he is never ever an asshole to me!) the customer said – “well that’s true – he is the best”
He took time for me instantly!! Checked under hood… looked at everything – took for test drive… hooked it up to his machine… blah blah blah… asked me a bunch of questions about the car … I told him my situation and what my choices were as well as what my concerns were
But he said for that price yeah I would buy it… he does NOT like Korean cars though?? – he likes Japanese … he likes my Toyota cause those are good little cars … but he also hates Mercedes for some reason??
But he said this was good deal… he said once you buy it – you should change spark plugs and replace oil so you know where you are to start… I said “well you know “you” gonna be doing that” 😄✌️
I will have to book that appt
So I told her yes… now I have a car to get me through and it’s a cute little thing… kinda electric blue there … but I like blue… I just don’t like being noticed that’s all
But is a cute Little Zipper car. It’s decent … I like it.
Not crazy power like I like… but I can deal with that. It’s a nice car.
So once I told her yes… I detailed it and cleaned it lol 😘✌️😄
Now I just wanna drive everywhere again 💙💙💙
💙💙💙💙
It has a place to aux connect my phone which is awesome!! I’m not stuck with only radio!! Woo hoo!!!
I do not think there is a way for me to adjust treble and bass 🤨😄😄 not that it is important or anything but I do like the cars that go Boom 😄😘✌️
Yay!!!!!!!! I got my car situation handled – woo hoo!!!!
My very first time kinda sorta all by myself!! 💙❤️ I feel peace with this decision ❤️❤️❤️
So I will baby it lol … or try very hard to 🙏🙏🙏
So one less worry… car handled … check ✔️- woo hoo 💙
My new car 💙 (not really new, new to ME) lol ❤️
Oh and … I have a disgusting story… if you don’t like disgusting do not read any further – it’s really gross 😝😝😝
Omg soooo gross!!! I warned you…
So after driving many places lol, and then detailing and washing… I had to go home…
I fricken live in the country 🤨 which normally I love ❤️ (because of the amazing peace)
On my way home 🤨 there were buzzards? Vultures?? 😝
They were on the side of my road at some roadkill thing 😝😝😝
I slowed not to hit them and create more road kill… they see me coming … one flew off no problem …
The other one waited til the very last minute and when he flew off … he still had intestines attached to his foot or something cause omg disgusting… if that went on my freshly washed new car … I would have been sooooo mad and grossed out by this buzzard guy!!! Omg – I had never seen that before and was totally gross!!! Ugh 😝😝😝
I stopped because no!!! I waited for it to fall and drove completely around that!!! Ewww!!!! Can nature do that where I can’t see??? That was the grossest thing I have ever seen… and I work at a funeral home!!!!!!!! 😝😝😝😝
Dont poop on my car and do not drop intestines on my car!!! Gross
See told you was gross!!
Fricken things you have to deal with living in the country 🤨 some is really gross or scary! Whatever – I am still attracted to the peace. That is Mother Nature … but still gross 😝
Only share because I had never seen that before in my life 😮😳
Ok I’m done now lol
Tmrw will be jobs 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Woo hoo!!! I have a car that isn’t currently dying 💙 my poor little Toyota … I am going to miss it… I got attached ☹️💔 I know … inanimate object… still got attached – was my first… and that little thing let me beat it the F up ❤️ took a lickin and kept on tickin for me ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So I be sad to let go… just kinda means a lot to me. Whatever – I know it’s an object… I just get attached – it was good to me… I loved that car!! ❤️
Now I have to figure out what to do with that car? Maybe sell got parts and I pay this one with that money? I dunno… have not thought that far ✌️
I will miss my Toyota ❤️
Ok well whatever – I am sappy with it ✌️ I just loved that thing – it was a symbol to me ❤️ what I started with – my very first thing by myself ever ❤️ it was sooo good to me ❤️
The Pokémon on the window drew me to it ❤️ I knew would be mine when I saw that. It was meant to be mine
And even now as it dies 😔💔… it still was good to me ❤️
Fricken Toyota’s rock!!! I am gonna miss it.
Ok well I am excited –
I will just miss… hope this one is good to me also 🙏 … hahaha yes I do have issues attaching to things lol
Gnite 💙😘
Yay! Congrats!🤠🔥

😱😱😱 hahaha I don’t know if is that advanced ?? But maybe… it has power door locks, power windows … stuff like that
I was excited it did not have the crank windows lol – I have problems with those because of you know the boobs/arm 🤨
I already programmed all my stations lol
I just could find how to do the treble and bass?
That would be awesome – but I doubt lol … I would be excited lol but I do doubt
She’s not really a big music person like me – I asked her about the radio stuff and she had no idea lol
Her radio stations I changed instantly lol all of them!!!
I don’t think she had upgraded radio stuff
She’s the one who asked me about those portable speakers 🔊 (I used that to blare my music at funeral homes during height of covid… I showed her when we planted trees and she loved it) she doesn’t know much music stuff
