Yet More Car talk...

Turns out there is no seat belt adjuster thingie. But Amazon is sending me a nice one. It will be here probably next week. Until then, I can just tie a not and it solves the neck strangulation.

Years ago my Mom had a LeCar. Until today, I'd forgotten one of the greatest things about that little car. The truck was waist level. Getting stuff in and out was easy peasy. The Smart car has the same awesome feature. I love it.

Earlier today faecat told me she had a trunk organizer that she bought from the dealer and loved. It sounded like a nice - but not critical - idea. I figured I'd ask about one tomorrow when I go back to the dealership.

Then I went out and bought four six packs of Diet Dr. Pepper, a bag of chips and a loaf of bread.

Er, ah, that organizer? If I want whole chips and/or uncrushed bread, it just moved up the chain from nice to critical!!!

Oh and I found two more places to stash stuff. It's now official. I have more places for stuff in this car than I have stuff. Note to self: this does not mean you need to buy more stuff.

Ok, I am in for the night. Tomato sandwich for dinner with chips. Baseball game on TV. Bear to knit. All is good.

And as faecat's father discovered, there is no way - no way in hell - you can ever lock your keys in the car. No way. Not that I have ever done that more than once or twice.

YAY!

I am so glad you love this car so much. It's fun to hear about it, too!

As far as the seat belt - the other thing that may help until you get an adjuster is something under you, like the boosters they use with kids - but either way good for you for getting it off your neck. The last thing you need is a "protective device" that strangles you in an accident or sudden-stop situation.

I think I love your car.

A trunk organizer...what a stellar idea. I doubt they have them for my monster vehicle, but I wonder if Jesse could make me something. No matter how carefully I organize my groceries before leaving Kroger, I know I will hear the nice crash of a gallon of milk falling over before I get on the highway. I have gotten wise enough to never put the milk by the bread or eggs, though! We live and learn...and use lots of paper towels.
