Doug’s New Toy

2010 Toyota Corolla As you can see, Doug has finally selected a 2010 Toyota Corolla S as his new car. After three months of renting cars to come out to Swift Current on the weekends … and countless trips to car dealerships … a choice was made. And Doug is thrilled to have a red car!

Now is this Doug’s dream car? No. But given the price point he was limited to, it was the best choice from ride and drive and road noise. It is a manual drive, so I’ll have to get used to shifting gears again. I’m not sure how often I’ll get to drive it since I haven’t been given any keys!

I’m going to put a big, shiny bow on the car … and then say “Merry Christmas, Doug!”

Last weekend and through Monday, we experienced extreme wind chill here in SK. It was -45. As of Wednesday I got to experience my first chinook. Chinooks are common in SW Saskatchewan as we catch the tail-end of AB chinooks. About -3 today and so you will see that the snow in my front yard has already compressed with the warm temperatures.

    Very nice indeed Doug! You deserve it. Believe it or not, I am quite partial to red cars! Red is the colour of power you know…oh yeah,,,dressing in red means power. Oh well, I am sure it may pertain to the car as well. Happy riding!
