 jan 25

another day .. another day by the fireplace/. well-------- i might get out.  the salesman at ira toyota.  was pushing me to settle on my new car... when i don't have ins payment on the old one-- threatened   in a very mild way :"might get sold"  - i have $1000 down  ---  and teh little old lady part of me got in motion'''' people don't realize how much time we old gals have to spend on something that annoys  us.  so i went. right to the door that said " service  appointments only- the door opened nicely for me i had no appointment-  with all the toyotas we now have, there is a guy i know there pretty well   william...... so as i sat there. tying up one appointms only lane.. they hurried and found william for me... i quickly explained how i did not want to pick up my new car yet, til i had the ins money to help pay for it.it and teh paperwork was.  "in the mail" 

it was an interesing study-- the sales department had the  " let me push your decision"  attitude and the service department was more the let me help you- the service bunch said if you have. a deposit down it is yours without any question... the sales guy said :i hope you don't loose it.  i sat there blocking a lane toying with one bunch against the other.    there was no doubt who i was... with sizzles head hanging out the window... they know. 
also    one side does not like the other..  the  guy who's gob it was to analyze the car problem. give yu a number, get you out of the car  and into the r waiting room.  swore he had no way of contacting anyone in the sal;es dep[artemet-- thru one door.  he didn't like them..
it is a huge place..but even there the nasty negs get together and raise heck. along comes guy #14. with clipboard.. said he was the tire checking expert---and i ex[alined i was waiting for a car i already bought  but no one seems to be able to get hold of the.  salesman...... i later saw him in the service office- and he did not check anyones tires but mine.. i like william there... everyone elsw has been managed to the point of no return 
 finally they got william -- i said if i had to i could leave this rav4 and take the new. 4 runner- he asked what was wrong with the car i was in.. i said it has all kinds of lights on -- he said one word ....RATS. and we are back where i was 3 weeks ago.  i am thinking.  it is going to ber tough replacing all the rav4's with a newer version....  they are nice cars.... with wires all coated with the rat equiveint of chrispy creme   we have  3 of them.  
 stay tuned...

Sorry that the calendars are "lost in mail space". I sent my phone bill, received notice that my payment was late and my service would be shut off and I may have to pay fo a whole new service. The next bill came as a double charge and then the original payment came back 2 months after it was mailed. I was returned as undeliverable as addressed ( even though it was a pre-printed return slip. The mail delivery leaves a LOT TO BE DESIRED!!!!!
