Materialism

Have car, very very pleased.
Navy blue 2004 Toyota Matrix. Now to figure out all the little differences that make this car special -- how to set the equalizer, how to fold down the passenger seat for long cargo....

Probably will never accept a deal with that car dealership again that involves a car not already on their lot.
But I never ever again have to drive the Geo, with its squishy snow tires, a coolant/head leak, and no wiper squirters!

Have phone, very very pleased.
This is the one [livejournal.com profile] jducoeur gave me the IOU for, at Christmas. Now to figure out how to set the speed dial and change the ringer....

I have a lot of manuals to read :)

Yay new car!

I hope you are pleased, and it's what you wanted...

Yes, it's exactly what I specced when I placed the order:
All Wheel Drive, Automatic Trans., Cruise Control, Anti-Lock Brakes, dark blue, etc. The ride is a smidge noisy, because it's a wagon with an open cargo area, but nothing I'll even notice with the CD player on.

And I got delivery before the next snowstorm (expected Tuesday)!

I have to say that think the new Matrix is one of the finest things Toyota has put out in years. Good luck with it.
