Three glasses of wine, a ride home, and an incredible find. So I rode home with Jenn after a third glass of wine in several hours time. Yes, she was okay to drive but I wanted to go with her regardless. Ronnie B stayed at the pub for a chat with a friend. We passed our lemon lot and this little gem was on the lot for sale. We whipped around to have a look. To begin with I didn’t think it was a convertible since it has a retractable hard top. My hopes soared when I got out and saw the details that it was only 5k and a convertible. How could this scratchless beauty be so inexpensive. I called the number on the sign and texted as well to be safe. All this before I even told Ron about it. Mark, the owner, called me back and said we could meet in the morning since I was the first to call. When Ron got home he encouraged me to go to the 24 hour video teller and get cash in hand.
Needless to say, Fancy Pants is now mine and I must admit I got a bit of a sunburn driving her for hours just to feel the wind in my hair. It appears I need to go hat and sunglasses shopping to look appropriate in this sweet ride. Jenn had not left for Texas so she was the first to get a ride. Then Lissa got to drive her a bit joltingly I might add. It has been awhile since she drove a stick.
So Fancy is a 2008 Mazda mx5 with heated seats and has six gears that I apparently need to learn to use. Her lid goes up and tucks away with the touch of a button. Her previous owner loves Mazdas and treated her like his baby. She is spotless. She has 162k miles and all her maintenance records.
Ronnie B is heading out for an archeology conference in Chaco Canyon today so I have the weekend to give everyone rides. Bring your sunscreen and let’s fly.
In Him,
Joyful
