Valete Brutus, Salvete Odyssey


Well, the old mercury is gone. Left at the doorstep of the local Honda dealership. I do believe our car salesman is going to use it as a parts donor to his Mustang. I didn’t know the parts are interchangeable, but there ya go.
So Out goes ‘Brutus’ as we’ve known the old car. In comes the Honda Odyssey. Yet to be named, which we’ll do eventually. We’ve got to learn its character first.
I hate buying a car. It’s a very serious situation for me to buy a brand new car. I am so uncomfortable doing it, even though, this time it ‘seemed’ to be easy-going and eventless. I’m always afraid that the finance guy is going to walk back into the room with an evil-judgmental glare, pointing a determined finger to the ‘out-door’ … “get out boy, you’re money is not good here” … but alas they didn’t. They walked back into the rooms saying … “give them their van” … Wha? Get out!
I’m still not believing it, Kitten had to call me later to give me a verbal ‘pinch’. “yes, hun .. it’s real. We’ve got a second car, and payment”
It’s still unreal. And I know many of you are saying, ‘what’s the big deal?’
If you only knew

  1. Kitten said, I can have any car I wanted, as long as it was an Odyssey
