Cast your vote.

I have been having a blast. As you may know I am looking at new cars. I have it narrowed down to two. My first choice as of this minute is the Toyota Matrix, check it out here. http://www.toyota.com/matrix/index.html My second choice right now is the Chevy Equinox which you can check out here http://www.chevrolet.com/equinox/

I have never in my life been a patient person, I have never bought a car this way and I am quite enjoying it. I have been looking for about two weeks now. Yesterday one of the two Chevy garages called and left me a message to call them, today the other one called and offered me an additonal $800 off the Equinox. I am looking forward to hearing from the Toyota garage within the next day or two. The salesperson there had been on vacation monday and Tuesday of this week. I like some of the features of the Equinox better, the one I am looking at has a remote car starter and the back seats actually slide back and forth for more leg room or more storage room. The Matrix and Equinox both have moon roofs.

My daughter says I like ugly cars and I suppose that could be true, after all I bought an Aztek. Hard to believe that was over 5 years ago. If that had all wheel drive I wouldn't be looking for a new one now. Both the Equinox and Matrix have all wheel drive. Course keep in my mind my daughter drives an orange, yes, orange Mustang. I suppose that someday soon I will decide what I want. For now, I have a sale sign on the Aztek, if I can sell it for more than the trade in value it would be awesome.

So, tell me which one you think is the coolest? or the ugliest?

When we were going to buy the Pontiac Vibe, it had a Toyota engine in it.; 2:48 PM

In Memory

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!””Gone where?”Gone from my sight.
That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!” there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: ‘Here she comes!”
And that is dying.

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will. When the road you're trudging seems all uphill. When funds are low and the debts are high. And you want to smile, but you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a bit. Rest, if you must, but don't you quit Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out: Don't give up though the pace seems slow- you may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far: So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when things seem worst that you must not QUIT Author unknown
