The Perks of Dating a Car salesman!

SO Chris has been working @ London City Chrysler for 3 weeks or so now. He is in heaven and will be great at it. The trick to a successful sales job is passion for your product. He nailed that one! Well today I found out why I love him selling his passion! We (Chris and I) went to the Lajoc 1st Meeting of the year. Well Chris got to bring a Brand New TJ Unlimited to the meeting, and I got to drive it there and back!!! He wanted to take his own modified CJ 7. It looks very different than in that picture. Figure almost 3 years of tweeking and tinkering on his passion in the majority of his spare time. For example it is now black and hase a huge tire carrier on the back of it, just to mention couple small details!
So back to the the unlimited. It is sweet. 8.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. The one I drove was Patriot blue. Too cold to go topless, but still worthy of having the top on. The stereo was awesome! Felt like there base a speaker right under my ass. The handling is pretty great, aaahh power steering! Can you tell my Nissan is standard steering. A major point deductor on the TJ was the fact that it is only automatic equipped till next year. hat would be a huge buy factor for me. I have to speak volumes about the seat comforts and the positioning of the dashboard controls. The shifter lever was really low though, could have used a couple inches of extention on the shifter. The ride is extremely quiet, a major improvement on the the soft top and insulation, 100 % improvement over the old style Jeeps. The roll bars have huge amounts of padding on them though that lead to large blind spots, however the speaker system that is attached to them in amazing. Of course the best feature of all is the extra 11 inches that are on the body. A Jeep with a trunk so to speak! Ok enough about the Jeep! :op

Well tomorrow is my day off and it is supposed to be 25 degrees Celsius her tomorrow. I sure hope so, I am going for the longest bike ride if that is the case.

Well 5 days until my 29th Birthday, I have mixed emotions to this one. More about that when I get there.

Cheers all.

Ever think you have something and find out you had less than you thought you did?

Well for me it was Rogers Roadside assistance. So as the story goes... I switched... Against my better judgment but I did, from Telus, to Rogers. I locked into a 2 year contract, got a colour display digital phone... Motorola c370, and the primary reason the Rogers Roadside Assistance. Needless to say, I drove to Brampton Wednesday morning from London, which is about an hour and a half on the 401 and 410. Spent the entire day in a meetings then drove home the same distance, assuming the whole time that I had an automotive fairy godmother, watching over me. The car felt great all the way home... no issues at all. Then I get home. Chat with Woodsy for a while and decided to meet him for a coffee. I head out of my dungenous apartment open the passenger side door dump off the random crap I was carrying (PDA,cell phone , stereo face platestereo face plate and some other random crap. I then, as per normal, shut and locked the door. I proceed around the rear of the vehicle, got to the trunk and realized that I left my damn keys on the seat with the PDA, cell phone and face plate!... Good job Leanne. So I waited for The Google master to show up and then headed to William's cafe for coffee and a snack. Where after some excellent catch up chat I proceeded to use my caffeinated compadre's Sympatico Cell Phone. I then spent 1.5 hours on the phone with various call center agents and managers to finally determine that yes I did have Rogers Roadside Assistance and that someone whould be at my home in the next 30 minutes to extract my keys from my car!... Only after 1 hour did I receive an apology from a manager who's name I regretfully forget, for an error on their part!... This just confirms the eerie suspicions I had about leaving such an excellent provider..Telus... to go to a consistently ill reputed provider like Rogers. Funny how you can pay for something for almost 3 full months and then only once when you need it do you realize you have been paying for something that an electronic cluster phuk of trust doesn't even realize that you have!

Blah... more tomorrow on my 3rd of 3 days off!

Happy bunny day eh!

Happy Daylight saving stime all. I love the fact that I look out the bedroom window and it is 8:06 pm EST and it is not dark out yet. Sring has sprung folks. Welcome again to the beautiful flowers, Crocuses and Daffodils, Tulips and virbrant green grass. Your aromas thrill the very depths of my hypothalamic responses. I hope you survive the -17 WCF chill we are expecting tonight.

Happy Birthday Mr. Savage!

Well I need to write a book review for work. I read the
