Caught in the Moment
in October 2003, I purchased a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. Ever since I saw the body style and drove one for the first time, I knew I wanted to own one. Four years and eight months later, my suzy had 97,000 miles. Never have I had a huge mechanical bill. I’ve kept the oil changed, tires rotated and the interior clean.
Here recently I’ve been thinking about a new car. So I started just looking around to see what was out there. As I said above, it was love at first sight when I got the Rodeo.
Well, as luck would have it, I stopped at Hickory Hollow Kia. I found a car that was nice. It was simple, sporty like my rodeo. Salesman came up and we chatted. Like I did with the rodeo, I took it for a test drive. WOW! It was great. Sticker price not so much.
Next thing I know I’m in the sales floor talking and then I’m in the finance department. You would think I would wake up any minute and say wtf are you doing Dewayne?
Nope, not what I did. I was caught in the moment and signed my life away. Yet again! Just sixteen payments away from have the rodeo paid for. Now I have a few more years to get out of debt.
