    Default New wheels

    Well, 9 weeks since my car & I lost an arguement with a tree, I've just taken delivery of some new wheels. Admittedly the Jap' car had the strength that probably saved my life, I decided to go USA. Bought a JEEP Compass. 4 x 4 Auto with a lot of goodies ( I'll work them all out one day) Just have to wait for Dr' & my body to give me the 'All clear ' to drive again. A little further than up to the Mal box or around the 20 acres I have anyway.

    Glad to hear you are healing and that the accident was worse for the car than for you. Nice new wheels. Love it. Take care of yourself and heal quickly.

    Great Jeep - Phillip and I rent one of these once, and it may replace his Volvo XC90 one day. I didn't realize you'd been hurt, and am glad to hear you're on the path to healing. 20 acres!!!! All I can think about is how many greenhouses you could have there. I can't imagine what that's like - the most I've ever owned (and granted, New England is really small) is about a quarter of an acre. Now, my only claim to outdoor space is a 4' x 8' deck! (Makes for carefree maintenance, but, alas, no greenhouse and little orchid space.)

    Good choice. The Jeep has long been my favorite cars. I wanted to buy a Grand Cherokee, a few years ago. But gasoline is too expensive in France. Finally, I bought a coupe !
    I hope you are recovering well too.

    20 acres? Oh now that sounds like a nice slice of home. Our area is just as crowded as can be. Nice jeep! Growing up one of my friends had one we called the Green Bomber. lol You could hear her coming.

    I didn't know you were in an accident. I'm glad to hear you are okay. Love the jeep. I got the look-a-like dodge nitro. Love the color!!
