Car Facts and Owner Manuals
As most of you know, I broke down and leased myself a new car. I crunched the numbers on purchasing vs leasing and, because who knows what the future looks like, I chose a lease. That way, if my financial picture changes, I’m only locked into making payments for three years as opposed to five or six (although the salesman said they will now go eight years on a purchase. 😲).
CADreamin has been a big help because she owned a Mini Cooper before upgrading to the Mini Countryman. So, I have tapped into her knowledge (and gave her the spare key and 2nd driver status). I have made it to page 8 of the owner’s manual. I actually looked up a few “specialty” items first, but that doesn’t count. Automatic lights (LED), wipers (front and rear) and, most importantly, how to adjust the outside mirrors. This weekend I am attacking radio station settings, Sirius Satellite channels and navigation tips.

And good for the body
Now on to our helper stories.
Good people doing good deeds.
Strong people stand up for themselves, but stronger people stand up for others.
