It was time for me to finally call an all-wheel drive vehicle my very own.
I’ve only lived in snowy, hilly Central New York since 1983, after all.
So on Tuesday, I traded in my 2011 Chevy Cruze for my shiny, smells-great Honda HRV.
It drove too smoothly in the test loop for me to pass it up. The dealer I worked with at Honda City, Rich, even was willing to negotiate the price.
Happy?
You betcha.
May my further tales all be ones of good things.
Congratulations!

I wonder why you thought I was European, PK. Naw. I’m a New Yorker through and through.

I should have known because I seem to be attracted to New Yorkers! My best friend lives in Saugerties. But, I think it was because you mentioned Liverpool. I assumed it was the OTHER Liverpool. 😀

That’s an easy mix-up, PK! No, it’s the little Liverpool just outside of Syracuse. Hey, 25 summers ago I attended Woodstock 25 in Saugerties!

You’re going to love that vehicle, Mark. It makes winter driving a whole new experience. I drive a Ford AWD Escape, which is quite similar, and after my first winter in that SUV I knew I would never buy another car that didn’t have AWD.
