For a very long time I had been undecided about buying a new car. I must have test-driven 25 different vehicles in 2006. On March 1, 2007 I decided to try a new Ford Fusion. Well, it was “ok” – but the car that REALLY caught my eye was a black Mustang with silver racing stripes, sitting quietly under a tent at the front of the dealership. I HAD to drive that car! I was HOOKED after just 30 seconds into the test drive! And it was unique, in that it was a “California Edition - #176 of 400”. If I had any doubts about qualifying for the financing, they were all laid to rest when a 3.8 earthquake rumbled through the dealership as I was waiting for the final word. I took that as my sign – “time to shake things up, Sue!” The financing fell into place, and I drove off grinning from ear to ear. A few days later my 6-year-old grandson saw my new car and exclaimed, “Dang! You have a REAL Hot Wheels car!” And that’s how “Hot Wheels” got her name… |
