On an Impulse


A few weeks ago I was visiting my sister and I told her that I was going to buy me a convertible by the time I turned 50, then a few days later I was in Sonora having lunch in a nice little restaurant and through the window across the street I noticed this VW Cabrio Convertible which they do not make this car anymore it had all the bells and whistles, cd player, leather seats, seat warmer etc. ( it's no secret that I had the plan when I turn the big 50 in five years that I have always said I wanted to buy me a convertible, ok ,I really wanted to buy me a Porsche ( but even I know that I can never afford that!) anyway I talked my husband into going and looking at it I said I am not planning on buying it! I just want to take a look
so we test drove it and it was ok, left and then ended back up to the same
car lot a few weeks later and well needless to say I ended up with my little convertible! ( I know like I needed another car!) well my daughter is going to start driving and well we all know what her dream car is! anyhow I love my little car, it is the very first car I bought on my own! I have been enjoying my drive in it. I have put the rag top down twice. My son took it for a spin and my husband even likes to drive it! I am willing to bet that my daughter will want to take it for a spin as well. anyway I am not a person to purchase things on an impulse especially a big ticket purchase like this! ah well at least by the time I reach my 50th birthday it will be paid for! ( then perhaps in my golden years I will be able to buy me that Porsche!
have you ever bought anything on an impulse?

Oh, I just LOVE it! VWs are great cars. My first car was a VW bug hard top. I'm dying to get a vintage convertible bug :)
