Great pic, Havasu!
I am recovering from the trip to Texas yesterday. Brought along my mechanic friend to the dealership this time and he seemed to have helped inspire my mother to have some more backbone on dealing with the people-- plus, she regretted letting the last dealership step on her and was willing to put up more of a fight.
We arrived a few hours earlier than expected-- I didn't think I'd get everyone out of the house before 6:30am, but everyone got up and I had packed up stuff we would need the night before. Snacks, sugared drink in case mom got low blood sugar, peanutbutter, water, blanket, etc.
I'll post more about the experience in the thread about the vehicle. It's a 2013 Honda CR-V EX-L with bug guard on front, towing package (no ball though), side molding, spoiler over back hatch, some sort of extra molding thing near the moon roof, etc.
The short version is that the dealer tried to charge us over $600 more than it should have cost for the vehicle with all doc fees and taxes.
We refused to pay that and ended up with the right price. Salesman probably got into trouble and finance guy was not too happy. Although sales guy was happy to make the sale a stayed friendly.
Got home around midnight and racked out. Now I'm looking for accessories for it. Thinking of replacing the stock antenna with one that looks like a shark fin. Maybe some chrome rocker trim, pillar post trim, etc... First we need to get something useful like all-weather mats though. Trying to decide between Husky mats and Maxliner.

LOL!
So, I probably mentioned that when I went to download the dealer photos of my vehicle, I discovered that they had listed it for $999 less than they said their sale price was when I got there. Looked it up and legally if they advertised it for a certain price even if the customer was not aware of the drop and already purchased it, they have to honor that lower price.
Been trying to get in touch with the dealership on it and got told the supervisor went home for the day and will call me back Monday-- but now my landline went out so I can't make or receive calls. I'm going to have to call them on my cellphone if it isn't fixed by 10am Monday.

I got a call this morning from the doctors office about a blood test they did last week. First time there in over 12 years. Everything was good except that I'm borderline diabetic. Suggested a low carb diet and exercise. Everything I like is packed with carbs. Pasta, white bread, potatoes, candy, heck even grape Koolaid that I'm addicted to....Guess it's time to start looking at healthier alternatives. This is why I hate going to the doctor. Oh yeah, forgot the skin cancer doctor and trip to see the keeper of the silver stallion. Guess someone has a Porsche payment due.
