The one where we contact Ron ’cause he gets it
Thu, Aug 14 2008 by Vanessa.
I do not like shopping. Grocery shopping. Clothes shopping. Furniture shopping (obviously if you’ve seen our poor couch). Car shopping. Hate it all. No real reason pops into to my mind which might explain why shopping always falls to the bottom of my entertainment list but nonetheless, it does. You can only imagine how thankful I am to live in the same neighborhood as Ron, our car-buying/selling guru. If ever you are in the market to buy/sell a vehicle check him out at www.ronGetsIt.com. Ron helped us purchase our Pilot when we decided that it was finally time to get more of a “family” car that can tote more than 2 adults from point A to point B. So a couple days ago, when John and I decided it’s time to sell off all our cars for a diesel SUV Ron received a phone call.
Poor Ron came by that night to examine our autos, gather basic information such as VIN, mileage, etc.. and the brave, brave man actually came in the house, with all our dogs, to figure out what our crazy brains were concocting this time. I think he now possesses a full understanding of our sincerity to sell off everything for life in an RV because we have instructed him to find new homes for all three of our current vehicles in exchange for a Diesel SUV, capable of carrying at least 2 adults, 4 dogs, a vegetable oil filter kit and whatever else we may need in Section 2. This new vehicle will be the only automobile we own while RVing. Yes, two American adults plan to share one and only one vehicle for daily transportation. They say less is more … we’re ready to find out if “they” are right.
We plan to make our first journey in this SUV to Colorado in order to convert its digestive system to accomodate vegetable oil. Thanks to PhoundationForChange.com this should be a relatively simple process. The drive home might prove interesting. Maybe we should practice our “Would you give me your used veggie oil” request. I have a feeling it’ll be a request we make a lot in the coming days!
