What happen yesterday?










Started out at McDonalds had breakfast. Did my Internet stuff. Drove back to the rental place, Fox. Got there and got almost $250.00 back on my rental. The reason is I rented this car for a week. Plus when I did, the guy there talked me into getting insurance. I told him I have American Express card and they usually cover that? He told no, they only cover all but PIP. Which is, if I hit someone it will cost me. Now if it is their fault A/E covers that. So I spent another $14.87 a day on that. Which at the end it was a lot more than I wanted to spend. By God's grace I have not had other insurance problems. That is why I needed to get it back and save a little. 
Okay on Wednesday I went out and looked hard to find a truck. I just started driving down 441. I stopped at each lot I saw that looked like cheaper cars. Not dealerships. I have had my heart set to buy a Ranger, would like a king cab? But if not that is okay too. So all these place I was going to, first of didn't have any, small trucks. Then I found couple. One place had a 1998 Mazda, just like my old one. Real rough shape. They wanted $2000.00. I asked if he fitted up. You know paint it and clean it? Now that was not repairing the dents. He told me he would sell it for about $3200.00. Okay then found a 2000 S-10 Chevy. Really nice, clean and sharp. He told me, $7900.00, I said what? You said $7900.00? Hey buddy, try to find a truck in that good a sharp? Driving around and not finding any small trucks at all. I thought maybe he is right. Steve a friend of mine, he went out and looked at different adds for me. Here are a couple below. 


Okay these places are really south of here. I looked and said. Okay I found this 1999 Ford Ranger King Cab. Low miles 122000. I talked with Jonathan at Raceway Motors. The price he threw at me was $3700.00. So we took a ride and it really drove nice, the air even worked. I have not had air since I left Florida. In my truck. It went out about year later after I got it there. It is was clean and just what I WANTED. I say that now, because, after you buy something you get this feeling, Buyers REMORSE. Boy I second guess it. Say what have I done? 
I got it for $3500. At the end of the deal with plates and taxes, it was $3910.00 out the door. Now have to buy insurance, that was $438.00 six months. Wow. 
Back to the beginning of this story. I drove to the renal place, walked about three miles and got on a bus heading west on Davie.That cost $1.75. Then got dropped off right front of the dealer ship. Walked in and paid the remainder. Jonathan got the paper plate on and said our good bye. Really a nice a guy. While we drove around before, we had a chance to talk about different tings. 
I believe this is from God and I will keep believing that. Thank you Lord.
