Wheels are made for rollin' ...

 

... but the wheels of my old trusty TOYOTA Camry roll no more.

We were in town this morning. The wife was driving. We were behind another car which slowed down. My wife didn't. I yelled, "Hit the brakes!" She did. What a pity the pedal she stomped on was the accelerator!

 

 

The Camry is a write-off. My nerves, too. However, living eight kilometres upriver from the Bay meant we needed a new car right away. So I went to a car dealer who asked me what sort of car I preferred. I said preferably something with four wheels.

We finished up with a well-kept second-hand FORD Focus Hatchback, Model 2006, with 54,485km on the clock and a price of $15,990 on the windshield - which I reduced to $14,000 but was still overcharged.
