Deliver Me From Evil
I had to take the Axiom to the dealership this morning for some paint work that had to be done as there were two tiny chips in the paint. One on the edge of the hood and one on the back bumper. We pulled in and Savannah spotted Ferris in the adjoining parking lot immediately, white writing on the window, fucking blue cardboard tree thingie hanging on the mirror. Bastards. The car smelled like new leather, like a brand new black leather mini skirt. I have no clue why they felt the need to do that. They are torturing my beautiful sleek car with fucking air freshener trees. I SO didn't need to see it there today. I was just getting rid of my bad attitude over the whole thing.
For my inconvenience, they gave me a stripped down white Rodeo demo to drive today. Had the mileage not read somewhere in the 1600 range I would have thought it was a severely used and abused model. As I reached around trying to find the manual seat adjustment bar I realized someone is probably trying to teach me a lesson in appreciating what I ended up with because that Rodeo sitting in my driveway right now is just completely Ass. There are absolutely no perks to owning one of those at all.
A basic 2003 Rodeo is what we went in there to look at to begin with. The end of year clearance pricing and rebate would have put it in the price range I was going for and the payments would have been cheap. It was conducive to reaching my financial goals. However, driving that for any amount of time would have made me one miserable bitch, it is just that ugly.
They should have put ten freaking cardboard trees in it because it smells like I imagine Sunnyside Inn does on a Sunday morning. For those of you who don't know what that means, it reeks of cigarette smoking, PBR drinking, icky bar whores. I am shocked they let a sales person or whoever drives it to smoke in it as it is meant to show off and it most certainly would impress no one. The whole experience gave me a splitting headache and I feel like randomly kicking someone's ass.
On the other hand, I really hadn't gotten the chance to drive the Axiom around and get a feel for it until yesterday. I have to say that putting it in Sport mode so that you can feel every little bump and crack in the road makes it a lot more fun. So, my general rule for riding is switching it over to the smooth luxury ride mode and when I drive I want Sport. Think he is going to go for that?
