So the hub and I went out looking for cars today. We drove to Glendale row where all the dealerships display their shiny new cars. It must have been a hard year cause we discovered that the GM lot we went to was closed and so was the Chrystler/Jeep lot. Both replaced by used car lots. Then we went to the Chevy Dealership and all they had were a lot full of $40,000 Camero's and $30,000 Traverse's and oh yeah a ton of SUV's that get 12 miles to the gallon. I was really disappointed. The Chevy website advertises a ton of cars from the $10K spectrum to the $90K spectrum and I only saw three cars on this lot. Ummm how yah suppose to sell cars?? We were very disappointed we couldn't even look at the cars we were interested in. I also forgot how annoying car salesmen can be. I absolutely hate it when you go in a store and a salesperson buzzes around you. So imagine my disgust when car salesmen started to approach us. The hub decided to take a reverse approach "buyer approach" with the salesmen and tried to be the salesman to the salesman. He did a pretty impressive job with the Toyota salesman who wins the award for wearing his pajamas to work. I seriously couldn't even think about buying a car from"Dwayne" with his big purple striped ballooned pants and even bigger tie. Perhaps he was a clown in his last job or sold mattresses. Cause that was Dwayne a cross between a mattress salesman and a clown. Even at Toyota we were disappointed we couldn't test drive the #3 Prius Model. They only had one #2 and plenty of #4's. The 4's of course were like $33-$40K ea. Haven't these car places heard there is a bad economy out there? I am not paying $30-40 thousand dollars for a friggin car. And I am not buying a super expensive 12 mile per gallon SUV. Hey Stupids why don't you stock the cars you advertise on your websites? It's a novel idea. Anyhoo, after a wasted hour and a half in the blistering sun trying to ward off stupid pajama wearing Dwayne and his greasy smile we went to get some Thrifty ice cream and came home. I was super tired from all my cleaning and landscaping earlier in the day so I stayed home and took a nice two hour nap while the hub went out once more to a new area to search for a car. He isn't home yet. I told him to call me if he even thinks about signing papers for a new car. I have to protect him from stupid Volkswagen Salesmen! hehehe
Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...
