I Got Hugged Today

...but not in the way you think.

Tonight my partner in crime and I went out on a mission to scout out some vehicles for our drive this summer. After the epic fail of my honesty on Monday, we decided to say that we were looking at the differences between two cars, and let the salesman make all the assumptions. To catch you up, or perhaps involve you in the meeting, my last outing left me doubting my intention of getting a convertible for the trip, and going with a more gentle, long road trip cruiser. Well, thanks to our friends at the new car dealership, I believe we've made a good decision. So, the reservation with our friends at Hertz is set, and let's just say I think we made a good decision.

The safety features on this car are legendary, and the comfort of it will keep us both at ease for the 9 hour trip. Plus it should have enough technological toys to keep me interested and entertained the entire time. Yeah, we decided on an E-Class. When we got in, the seat firms itself up, and the seat belt tightens up a little bit because as the salesman explained, that when it detects an impact, the seat gets to a proper crash position, and the seatbelt snugs up to freeze you in to the seat and supposedly limit the impact on the driver and passengers. There were several other odd features that seemed so incredible that I can't really describe them. I can sum it up with this little tale; We were testing out the spaciousness of this model compared to the other (smaller) one, specifically if/how our elbows wouldn't bump in to each other very readily. This particular model of car has an armrest that splits open a lot like the Ghostbusters containment module (look it up, kids) in the middle, so when it was closed there was a bit of a crack. So, when the dealer heard us talking about the amount of space, he said, "Yeah and if you cross over the gap there you get a little shock." I looked at him, and semi-seriously say, "With the list of the other features you've gone over, I'm not entirely sure if you're kidding or not.". He of course was kidding, but the car is German made after all.

So, anyway, I'm glad to have that part settled, and our travel plans are firmed up, and things are looking good. Now to focus more on promotion and awareness. I'll be travelling next week for work, so update frequency may change. Not sure if it will be more or less. Depends how bored I get in the hotel. Again, thank you for watching.
