All you folks riding high in your SUVs are making it harder for me to see in my Caddy.

We tested a Rav4 and a Highlander. The Rav4 is weaker on the hills and we live atop a good sized hill. It’s all about the power.

And the higher SUVs allow my lousy knees and bad back easier access to my butt hitting the seat. I am VERY excited. Saturday morning I got up, planned to run some errands, when DH asks what am I doing today. When he told me his plan to go test drive my dream car, ie SUV, I jumped at it. We tested two at one dealer, then DH called his mechanic and he recommended another dealer. We went there and it was love at first sight. It’s a smoky blue with a tan interior. Cloth seats, not a lot of extras, but it’s solid. I forgot to check if it had power doors, but it has powered locks, windows and seat adjustment. Only saw it and drove it Saturday. Pick up is tonight. I need to get it equipped with an automatic starter before winter.

Don’t forget that I am retired and lucky to be getting a new-to-me car. It’s a 2007, and dang cheap at that. The dealer does not haggle, he prices his vehicles to sell. Most go within 24-48 hours of hitting the lot. He moves volumes of them on that tiny lot. Southern cars, which we all want up here in the frozen tundra.
