It was time for a new car. My 2001 GMC Jimmy has been very good to me but at 94,000 miles it was time for something new. I am commuting 40 miles to work each way and I needed something comfortable and feul efficient. After looking at several dealerships I decided on the Volkswagen Jetta SE. Ok, I actually had my mind made up before I started looking but thought I should look anyway.
So here it is, my new car on Christmas morning
My brother and I travelled to New Mexico to spend the holidays at my parents. The trip took about 12 hours which was pretty good time considering that during the trip we ran out of gas and I got a speeding ticket!
I was one of 250 citations that evening on the I-40 between the Arizona border and Texas. They clocked me at 82 in a 65 zone. I didn't know it was a 65 zone! The officer was nice enough to say I was only going 75, which reduced the ticket from $115 to $65. "Merry Christmas" he says as he hands me the ticket!
