Thanks, Tim, for giving me a lift to check out the above car. You’re a gentleman!
I bought the car. I trusted both my intuition – I just had a good feeling about it – and my senses (and Tim’s!) when we took it out for a short local test drive.
It looks terrific. It’s got FSH, from both previous owners. And it’s clearly been well looked after. It even has cruise control!
I drove it home like a little ol’ Granny! Very gently and conservatively. Observing speed limits religiously. And with oodles of due care and attention.
The recent accident has changed me as a driver. I don’t want to risk death or injury. Mine or anybody else’s. Not that I ever did, obviously. But experience teaches that I need to do more to make those things less likely.
Being an Amazon delivery driver – which I’m now going back to doing – has the potential risk of making one more accident prone. Even if only by dint of being on the roads so much.
If one then zips around, well… it’s obvious what might happen. I guess the irony in my case was that I wasn’t delivering. I was just on a short local run, picking up the mrs from the station.
For now, what with getting home in the dark, the pics of the new wheels aren’t great. I’ll take some in the daylight, tomorrow…
