asher553I left work a little early, and thankfully got home a little early to enjoy the weather and start my weekend. Last Friday I was not so lucky: I left work early, but my homebound commute, normally an hour, took two and a half hours. A breakdown in the light rail switch meant that passengers on my line had to disembark and get on a shuttle bus, which took us to another station, where we had to disembark again and wait in the hot sun for a second shuttle bus, which finally took us to a point where we could rejoin the light rail. As you can imagine, I was not in a good mood by the time I got home.
So it was fortuitous that upon arriving home and checking my messages, I found a text from the sales side of the Nissan dealership where I usually take my blue compact for servicing. The little Versa has served me well enough, but the service bills were starting to add up and I was beginning to wonder how cost-effective it would be to keep the vehicle. Happily, the dealer wants me to come in and test-drive a new vehicle in the SUV line - a little closer to what I'm looking for, and, if factory-new, hopefully with an attractive warranty and service plan.
So I'm on for a test drive this coming Sunday. Given that my situation is more stable now than when I bought the compact (my credit then was so-so, and my options were limited), I'm cautiously optimistic that the forces of the universe will align in my favor and I'll be driving a new SUV soon.
