Line Up and Wait
Don't get me wrong...I love cars. Several years ago I had the Porsche bug & nearly bought one but my sweet wife said the 911 would put a pretty good dent in my airplane savings account, so no Porsche. Purely my decision.
I spent last week closing a deal on a 182. We'll take possession on July 5th. That's pretty much consumed my spare time & thoughts.
Several months back we decided a new car was in order for my wife. This had nothing to do with me getting a plane...honest!!! We test drove several SUV's over the weekend. I favored the Audi Q7 but since I drained a good chuck out of the bank to buy the 182 I thought practicality was in order. We pay cash or don't buy. Long story short, we picked up a new 2016 Toyota Highlander. We felt after driving it the 50 miles home we'd made a good decision. After parking the new car in the garage I realized I bought a car & never looked under the hood. I felt so dumb that I popped the hood and saw a new clean engine. No big deal. Don't get me wrong, I did a lot of research & knew what was under the hood.
I guess after closing a deal on an airplane cars are so ho-hum.
