Buh bye Blue Lemon....Buh Bye.

After much thought, frustration and well no other choice we traded in THE BLUE LEMON and bought a new/used van.

Did we have the money? No not really. We had to pull it out of places I would rather not talk about. ;-) It basically came down to the fact that it was in the shop more than we had it, and WHO KNEW when that was going to end. Driving back and forth to Orlando with Makily was always nerve wracking. We couldn't keep throwing money into it with the hopes that "this will be it right"?

We got a GREAT deal on a 1999 Nissan Quest with only 58k miles on it. The people here in Ocala at Palm Kia were AWESOME. I of course haggled with them as much as I could and asked our salesman several times if he wanted to take Makily with him to negotiate prices with the manager. He laughed at me. Of course on EVERY PAPER I SIGNED I wrote "sale pending inspection by OUR MECHANIC". We took it in to Dave's and he was IMPRESSED. He went on and on about how he almost NEVER has Quest's brought in and the last one he saw recently had 180k miles on it and the alternator had gone out....big deal. He was floored with how low the miles are on it. So we FINALLY have a van that I don't have to manually drag the window up up while driving, or put water in every single time I drive it.

THANK YOU GOD!

Oh yeah and TWO MORE WEEKS TIL DISNEY!

wooo hooooo
