Spoiled Rotten
My car was in the body shop getting a new paint job for a couple weeks, when I realized how spoiled I was.
1st day in, Enterprise hooks me up new Jeep Liberty. Not very comfortable, and a very short wheel base. I hated driving it! I had to constanty re-adjust my seat, had to reach for the stereo knob, and didn't have cruise control. The first night out, on my way to dinner with my wife, I didn't realize the my lights weren't on until about a half hour after dust. What an inconvenience, I had to look for the lights. A few days later, it rained. Put out once again because the wipers didn't come on automatically.
2 weeks later, the body shop said it would be another week before my car would be ready! I couldn't take driving the Jeep anymore, so I traded it in for a Charger. It was a little more comfortable, and handled so much better, but still no auto lights or wipers. My buddy said, "lets see what its got!" I had the pedal buried, and it was going nowhere fast. Well, it was only a 6-cylinder.
I'm not putting down these cars, they're nice if that's what you like. I'm just pointing out how these little conveniences make a difference. I am SO happy to have my baby back!!
