After waiting to hear from the insurance company to tell me that my 4Runner had been totalled, I looked around for a replacement.  I would love to have a brand new 4Runner as they changed the body style for 2010 and I like it.  But, budgets have to come into consideration, so I (briefly) considered buying a sedan that would be much better on gas mileage, but I came to the conclusion that I would miss the capability that an SUV with 4 wheel drive provides.  So I looked around for a good deal on a used 4Runner and even considered a Nissan Xterra.  I finally decided that I would stick with Toyota, even though they are coming under scrutiny with their recent recalls, but I have confidence in Toyota as a company and especially the 4Runner.  They have not been involved in any of the recalls so far and even if they are at some point, I know Toyota will come up with a fix.

And now to present my new (well 2007) Toyota 4Runner:

My New Ride

 It is a 2007 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4WD.  It has just under 60,000 miles on it and has a clean history.  Was owned in North Carolina by one owner.  I found it at an Infiniti dealer and they made me a good deal on it.  Perhaps the flack Toyota has received recently helped me land it at more than $4,000 under NADA retail value.  What do you guys think?

So I stopped by the grocery store today at lunch to pickup something from the deli to eat.  I paid for my food, walked outside to find a woman getting in her van watching her cart roll down the hill 2 spaces and smack into the side of my car.  I have spoken about this before and it just burns me up.  What she said to me only made it worse:

Me: *sarcastic tone* “Thanks for that.”

Her: “Oh, I didn’t know it was going to hit your car.”

Me: “Carts go in the cart return, you know.”

Her: *sarcastic tone* “I know.”

Me: “Next time use it.”

Her: “I ain’t gonna use tha cart return. You have a blessed day.” *smacks lips, driving away*

Me: *loud enough so people can hear* “That’s LAZY!”

Then, I have to go around, pull the cart off of my car and put it where she should have to begin with.  What is it about people that think they don’t have to be kind to others?  What is it that makes them think they are better/more privileged/whatever you call it that makes them not follow general guidelines of human dignity?  To add insult to her kind, she leaves after being so rude with a “Have a blessed day.”  What?  I would only assume from that statement she is Christian or at the very least Religious.  Aren’t people that follow a religion supposed to generally be nice to people?  Someone help me figure this out!
