Delivery of the new "5" was earlier than expected. Rather than Monday, it arrived on late Friday, so I picked up the families new "Stormy Blue" on Saturday. The old Salsa Red 05 Prius served us very well. Who can forget the Ostrich and Bison drool from the family camping trip. Or E1 "washing" the car with a handful or rocks, or E1 "polishing" the hood of the car with a brass grill scraper. Ahh the memories!
The pickup was not without angst or anxiety as the dealership made the transaction dependent on me signing a "Contingency waiver". Basically stated if the government or the dealer screw up the cash-4-clunker that the car could go back to the dealer, the sale made void, or I could owe the $4500. There are some Internet posts that seem to indicate that such a practice is not allowed, however without regulation or enforcement, it seems that dealers are doing just about anything they want with this program. So its a bit of pins-n-needles wondering if something could go wrong. Though I'm sure everything will be fine.
Beyond the car, the family had a BUZZING day Sunday. I think J will be posted about that soon...
Peace
