How I Spent My Day Off

. . . and a lot of my hard-earned money.

This is the 2007 Saturn VUE. (Thanks for the pic, Boris!) It's even the same color as my new 2007 model. JimmyB will appreciate that I bought American, and Fmragtops will appreciate the fact that I scoffed at the hippie hybrid version. Stupid hippies.

This thing is a dream to drive, and the AWD V6 has a lot of giddyup. It was a shame to trade in my first new car - my 1999 Saturn SC2 - but the damned thing was too low to the ground, and didn't do diddly in the snow. No worries about that now. (Of course, the wife snarked that since I bought this baby, Philly won't get another flake.)

Take a good look kids; I'm very happy today. That doesn't happen very often.
