A New Car Afternoon
The day was bright and clear. No need for a jacket,outside. I got some housekeeping done early — then boogied out to the driveway to spend some quality time with my new car. 
I’ve been looking around at cars for some time now. On Monday I got a couple of calls at work from the Toyota dealer and ended up going out that evening and purchasing a new, 2007 Toyota Yaris. I’m still finding it hard to believe that it is sitting out there on the driveway. This afternoon was all about exploring and fiddling around with the car, paging through the manual, playing with the stereo… Kinda just geeking-out, actually.
Years ago, when I was vacationing on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I bought an “OBX” sticker in a little beach gift shop. At the time, I was fixated on buying a silver New Beetle. I wanted to put that sticker in my new car. Years rolled by from there. The sticker drifted into a junk drawer by my desk and stayed there. Until today:
It’s been a long time coming. (And turns out, the color is “Meteorite”.)
