1 Year Anniversary

Today I celebrate my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY with my 2008 Kia Spectra. It's been good so far. A nail in a tire and a ding to a door but we're holding it together. To celebrate, I might take her out for a good cleaning tonight.

NEW CAR

Wednesday night, the 16th, I took my "classic" but decrepit 2001 Kia Sephia to
FOLGER KIA at 5701 E Independence Blvd. Charlotte, NC 28212 to talk about trading in. My salesman was none other than a Mr. James Brown! "HEH! Hit me" He was a pretty cool guy fom NY. I liked my 2001 Kia, so I can't say for sure that Folger Kia "sold me" as much as I just had to replace the battered "classic". Anyway, I ended up buying a 2008 Kia Spectra. I wanted grey, silver or blue but it's black. Not a great deal of amenities but AC was my main focus and a good price. And I got that. My previous Kia was a dependable, fuel efficient vehicle. I think this Spectra will be the same. FOLGER KIA (704) 569-3300 or (888) 247-0384. Stop by and see James Brown and tell him Brian K. Raynor sent you. "See ya, ...at Folger Kia".

Car Accident

In May I had the back bumper of my "2001 CLASSIC KIA SEPHIA " (Mad TV had a skit about that car) repaired after being rearended at a stoplight. Last evening.... I got rearended again. Same situation, at a stop light, light turns green-WHAM! This one hit me so hard it knocked my sunglasses off my face and I didn't even feel my car apparently hit the car in front of me. There may be an invisable sign on that car that says "HIT ME". Since 2001 it has been hit at least 6 times. I think I need a job, closer to home, so close that I could simply walk to work. A job closer to home or a personal helicopter to get me to and from work. There's no good mass transit system between my house and work.
