Friday night I picked up my new car (necessitated by my run-in with a certain senior citizen a few weeks back). It's a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and I love it.
Of course, being a huge environmentalist, I don't like the fact that everytime I drive to the local blockbuster somewhere an innocent dolphin, or perhaps baby seal, dies. But on the other hand, I feel like Tony Soprano when I'm behind the wheel of this thing, so it all balances out.
My favourite part is the interior. Leather (heated) seats, wood-look panelling, a ten disc cd stacker . . . it's more comfortable than my lounge room. And I like the fact that I feel safe in it, you get the feeling that elderly and/or Asian drivers would just bounce off.
The downside is that the insurance company would only insure it for $11,000, $1500 less than what I paid for it. Which is crazy because they just paid me $5,000 more than what my last car was actually worth. I guess I'll have to concentrate on avoiding accidents from now on.
