That Wasn’t How I Planned on the Day Happening!

This wasn’t much of a day planned…just have lunch, get the oil changed, and go home. That was how I planned it.
Well, it didn’t happen that way. I have a new car.
It wasn’t a case of getting trapped in a corner with a salesman. One did stop by and handed me a sheet, showing my new payment for a new car, but that wasn’t the deciding factor. It was a lot of things that combined.
So I’ll pick it up tomorrow and then my “old” one (Bestill) will head off to a new home with my niece. Then I’ll get my cardboard sign and stand on the corner. 
Join me in welcoming How Great (named after two of my favorite hymns of praise, “How Great Thou Art” and “How Great Is Our God”). Only 36 payments until it’s mine!

As long as the weather cooperates that’ll be in two weeks.

My ex-sister-in-law had a wreck last week, so my niece can have my car and just pass ‘em down the line. 
They weren’t happy that I didn’t trade it in, but my car is very high mileage (123,000 on a six-year-old car) so they would have found some way to get the money back.

Is this system in the car? Pardon my ignorance but it surprises me a bit.

You are such a sweetheart to pass your car on to your niece. I’m sure she was very happy, I know you take perfect care of your vehicle! I hope your How Great carries you along on many wonderful adventures!!
