Vroom, Bang, Keh

Never a dull moment. Last week started with out truck losing 2nd gear. We had it in the shop before we moved. That repair ended up not completely fixing the problem, add to that two more problems and we are not happy campers. Thanks to the continuing repair bills and a sizable prospect for the latest batch, and we are calling it quits.

This is the time that I sit and ask myself why it was we sold the Mustang. What a nice, well-behaved car it was. So we ended last week car shopping and brought the new "toy" home today. Half a day in, we are praying that it was a wise choice, not that there was much selection, and not a lot of time to debate.

I think this one needs a name, it definitely has character. So possible choices are:
     Rattle Trap
     Squirrel
     Desert Rat
     Weasel
     Black Peter (Pete)

With some work, some of the issues should be mitigated, it will be entertaining.
