Not quite.
After allll that, the Corollas across the street called to me, and I answered. I'm back in Corollaville. ;-)
They cost less anyway...and get better gas mileage, for what that's worth. And it's like my old Corolla only enhanced. Lots more doodads, but the same basic everything-is-exactly-where-it-should-be feel to it.
I'll just have to use a bike rack or do a little finagling if I wanna stick a bike in there. The seats do fold down, so I could probably do it if I had to by taking the front wheel of the bike off, just until I have a better method.
Looks like this, but without the spoiler and the big house.
It's purty and bright blue and has about twenty miles on it now that I've driven it allll the way home. Which was interesting, by the way...my first real drive in the thing and it's night and the other cars are so big of a sudden...and it's going to take me awhile to get used to steering and braking such a light little car again.
Poor Cisco was a very patient pup tonight. :-\ If I'd known how long the whole process would be, I'd have offered to come back tomorrow. But then I probably wouldn't have, so maybe it's just as well.
