stuff I like about my new car
I have to say, I think I like my new car.
Yes, it drives like an American vehicle, yes, I prefer European vehicles but we are looking at college in the not so distant future and my Volvolemon was very expensive. Not so my Jeep.
My Jeep is growing on me. And, after owning it for a month, I am ready to say: I like it. I might even love it.
I LOVE the font. I've been telling people who ask how I chose this vehicle that I love the font. Helvetica!
And doesn't pollen look GREAT on it? I think so. The yellow dust complements the black paint perfectly. (Black was the only color available, BUT I LOVE IT.)
Look at this butch rack! The salesman told us that the car came equipped with a rack with cross-rails and he was wrong. Upshot? He paid for the rack and side rails! Score one for us!
I adore these Mickey Mouse door handles. Any fool car can have those weird lifting lever door handles, my car has real old-school handles but funkified. And I LOVE THEM.
There's a great little "hidden" compartment to the left of the steering wheel. What will I use it for? I have no idea, but I APPRECIATE it being there - just in case.
We sprang for navigation and satellite radio. Have I already talked about this? I drive around LAUGHING MY ASS OFF while I listen to the comedy channel. Really - it has improved my quality of life! And TWICE, in the past month, I DID NOT GET LOST. This, my friends, is a major accomplishment.
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. I don't know WHEN we will use it, but WE COULD at any time!
I can SEE the font wherever I GO.
The owner's manual(s) come in a charming little green clutch bag. I COULD use it as a handbag.
It's a door. It's A JAR! Simple messages are displayed ALL DAY LONG. Sometimes it tells me what radio station I'm listening to and whether the tires are properly inflated. WE COMMUNICATE.
The dashboard and windshield are pleasingly small. I know that sounds strange but my previous vehicle had an acre of space between me and the road. Now, I feel very space efficient whilst driving.
I told the salesman that I hated the interior. He lowered the price of the car. Turns out? It's not as bad as I thought!
MINTS! It came with mints.
Not really.
When I got up this morning, Middle's movie was in 4th place. After I voted he was in third - IT'S THAT CLOSE.

It should be compulsory to carry eclipse mints in the car.
Also, it's been telling me for weeks that I have a flat tire, which I DO NOT. So sometimes it lies. Just to keep me on my toes.
Off to vote.
Guess you had to be there...
I think maybe the little compartment to the left of the steering wheel is for your secret stash of Peanut Crack&M's. When you are picking up a kid somewhere and it takes longer than you expect, you can have a little snack.
And I would also like to mention that you keep your interior crazy clean.
Do you have eating and drinking rules for your vehicle?
I watched the documentary recently and enjoyed it so much; I saw some font designers whose names I knew and some who were new to me. Meanwhile, Hubby? Zzzzzzz... Oh well. I am tired of his poker shows, so there!
Still voting on a regular basis.

Sigh.
It's true love here in Germany.

I would ensure that a selection of mints is always at hand.
I could even open and close the door for you.
You could wait in the car while I run in and out to pick up the drycleaning, or the milk.
I would sit in the back, completely silent. I would be no bother at all, I swear.
Also, son #1 wants me to tell you to save the empty Eclipse mints tins as they are perfect for bomb making.
But a new ride is good, regardless of the font involved. What kind of gas mileage can you expect? Good news, I hope.
I drive a suburban, yes we are gas guzzling road hogs. But with 5 kids what else can we do. I do love my sub though.
