On 4.10.10, I became the proud owner of Cooper, my new car, an '06 Prius. I've wanted a Prius since they first hit the USA. Great gas mileage, cool look, and tons more bells and whistles than my economy-model Escort. Don't fret though, as it is likely that Shrek will find a new home with my lovely cousin in Ames!
I made a trip home on Friday night with the hope of driving my new car home, and as you can tell, it happened. I had to get a lot of ducks in a row, as insurance wouldn't give me a policy without a VIN, and the dealership wouldn't let me drive off the lot without an insurance policy. Fortunately, I have an excellent insurance agent in Tim Young, and he verified proof of insurance for me as he was driving home from Madison. Talk about being there for your customers! I'm incredibly pleased with his dedication, as cheesy as that is.
Speaking of cheese, I have a great coworker in Bob, who kindly agreed to take 3 hours of my afternoon call yesterday afternoon so I could make the trip to Monroe, for the small cost of a pound of limburger cheese. [It's sitting in my fridge, wrapped in 4 bags in hopes of not stinking things up too much.] Like I said, small price!! He originally asked for "1 kilo of limburger" but I objected on behalf of his wife :)
Named for Anderson Cooper, as they are both silver foxes, Cooper is a mean, green, driving machine :)
peace and love,
