My Dream Car

This is me driving my dream car! A white JaguarXTYPE 3.0. (sucking in my cheeks trying to look skinny, not sexy) You're wondering if I won the lottery or something aren't you? I wish! I only get to drive this beauty for 48 hours. It's a rental from the Volvo dealership.

I had to make sure to get the hood ornament in the pic!

Here's the scoop:
Monday's are now my new Saturday's due to the fact that Brice has the day off. My plan was to run a few quick errands after taking Hannah to school. I jumped in "Victor" the Volvo and dropped Hannah off at school with no problems, and then half way down the road the car started to jerk a little, and smell a little, with the check engine light flashing and a message that said, "Drive slowly, service urgent" Arghhhhh. I had just driven past my handy mechanics, so I flipped a quick "U" and headed back. I pulled into the shop and asked the guys to take a look.
" Yeah, that sounds rough, and smells a little." Chad said. "But I can't see anything visibly wrong." I love my Volvo except for one thing. Only people that work with Volvo's or foreign cars can do the repairs sometimes.
So, with the address and phone number to the dealership, and the phone number to a tow truck service just in case I didn't make it, I slowly and cautiously made my way downtown. I called the dealership on the way and asked if they could get me in.
Ughhhh , I just bought all new tires for this thing and the dealership is going to cost alot!!
They weren't going to be able to get me in until the next day, so I said I was going to need to rent a car. There was no way I was going to pack up the kids every morning to drive Brice to work in A.F. come back take the kids to school and then go back to pick him up in the evening. Joey said he would call enterprise for me and that it would only be $30 a day." Awesome, let's do it."
While I was waiting in the lobby I found a great fish taco recipe in a magazine and wrote it down.
The enterprise guy came and while I was filling out the paperwork and giving him my credit card I asked him, " Did you bring your cheapest car?!" He kind of laughed and said "No, but I gave you the best rate." "Awesome", I said. "That will do." He walked me out to the lot and as we were passing a new red Volvo, I said to him, " Ahh, you brought me a cute red Volvo."
"No", he said " But will a white Jaguar do?" I kind of looked around to see if I was being punked and then of course, took the keys lightening fast. Now, the idea behind getting the rental was to just get a cheap little something for Brice to drive for the next few days, but really, I couldn't let him take that on the freeway! I grabbed the carseats and was joyously on my way to finish my errands. That's the brilliant part of the dealerships master plan. They set you up with a sweet rental so that you forget how much your about to put in their pockets for repairs. It worked!! And they offered to pay for 2 days rental.
Where did I end up going on my errands? To some of my favorite stores of course.
DI, Savers, & the Dollar store.
