My Honda CRV EX-L all-wheel drive, with five miles on the odometer, ready to drive off the lot.
I've been thinking of a new car for quite a while. The 2014 Avalon was coming up on expensive maintenance, then the leaky window finally pushed me over the top. Enough with soggy rolls of paper towels on the floor!
Burien Honda (the same dealer where John bought his Passport) had exactly what I was looking for on Saturday, right down to the color. With who knows what around the tariff corner, it seemed like a good time to go for it.
The nice thing about having the same brand cars (I really should say, computers on wheels) is we can switch back and forth easily, and since John learned all the bells and whistles first on the Passport, it's been much easier to figure out the CR-V.
Anyway, if cars were horses, the old Avalon was a Thoroughbred, but the CRV feels more like a Quarterhorse-- a steady ride on whatever the trail throws at you. Twisp, here I come.
In other news, the deck should be finished today or tomorrow. What an improvement. We're thrilled with Elias' workmanship and counting our lucky blessings he came our way.
Last but not least, a sure sign winter is losing its icy grip in the Methow Valley-- old "Ginger" already has a spring clip to keep her cool in the strong spring sun.
Nova returned safely home from Taiwan Saturday morning at 1 am. She was back to riding and horse chores on Sunday afternoon. Oh, the resilience of youth.
