Called out to do a Foley change at 4 am...

Coming back - more traffic and waiting...

A snarl of heat, and construction, 

And 2 hour drives in a Red Sea of Taillights and waiting. 

I just decided to make a change.

I drove to the apartment, and got the title to Trucky,

And went directly to a Subaru dealer...

To auction off my soul... for the next 5 years.

I walked in, and was overwhelmed - 

I felt as though I had finally found My Tribe.

This has a tent attached!

The bathrooms are equipped....lol

I like Subaru as a company -

They seem to be independent from the Big 3,

And have a real touch for the contemporary issues -

Like Marriage Equity, and Dogs. (link)

I always say that if you don't ask, the answer is always NO.

So I went in for a test drive.

I live in Dallas, but this aspect of Far North Dallas 

Is annexed into Collin County.

(My uncle did that, actually!)

So they shopping is pretty fine.

And there it sat. A Subaru CrossTrek.

Close out model. Just a few left on the lot.

Out with the old - 

Thanks, Dearly Beloved Trucky 

For many adventures

And look at this - a sun roof

Automatic Transmission

And all kinds of features they just didn't make 14 years ago...

I felt a little old talking with the sales person...

Back-Up Cameras, and Continuously Variable Transmission...

BlueTooth Handst-Free calling, and getting to hook the iPod up etc.. 

After all.... Trucky had windows that you roll up and down - by hand!

I had the SalesPerson drive me around at first,

To see how comfortable the ride was.

When I have knee surgery, I will need many rides.

And I had to see if I can get in and out with no trouble.

This sits a little lower, but still no bathtub seating.

Sweet ride!

With a 10 year warranty!

This dealership also washes your car free...

And they do all the service free for the first few years.

I think I am going to like this!
