Now comes a story that is being written because it is one of those stories that just has to be...... I know that does not make any sense, but then most of what I do never does (make sense that is) but then that is what makes life interesting. Or at least it makes my life a little short of being normal but then somebody needs to define normal. I have to assume that I am normal, but then if I am normal then what would make some one else not quite as normal as me and is there really a normal or is that just a metaphor for being metaphorically right or is there such a term as metaphorically right and if I am right then who is to say that you are wrong??? and is there really a right and wrong or should that be a right and left??
All these unanswered questions that are parts of the meaning of life and if these are unanswered then why is there wine? For it has been said that "IN WINE THERE IS TRUTH" but how can that be for if you drink the wine then the bottle is empty and thus there can be no truth???? But I will drink the wine anyway and maybe one day all my questions will be answered????
But for now it is on to the loaner car. I had to have some work done by the GURU'S of Volkswagen repair. I really don't remember what it was that I was having done since I probably had to many bottles of wine the night before looking to try and get all my questions answered. So I took Mr. Blue to the Guru's to get better.
I was going to call to have some one pick me up when the the head guru, that would be Larry, said "why don't you just take the loaner car?????" Well folks you just have to take a look around this place and unfortunately I did not take pictures so there is no way to describe what I was thinking at that exact moment... All, their work is great and high quality, buttt??????
a loaner???????
Imagine if you will (didn't somebody say that once on a TV show) that you are surrounded by Volkswagen's of various makes and types. The next question is what exactly would a loaner car look like here???? There were buses, buggies, a wombat, an MG kit car and some that even defied description. So I said why not????
You have already seen the pictures of this loaner at the beginning of this story, but what you cannot tell from the pictures is that I was quite literally about 3 inches off the ground!!!! Now that in itself is quite a thrill wondering if the bottom will fall out and I would get the worst case of "ROAD RASH" known to mankind??? The other part of the problem was that not only did I have to get into this vehicle, but I had to get out of it!!!!!!
Now when something that low has to be driven by somebody of my height then getting into this vehicle is not going to be a pretty site!! So finally after a few entrances and exits I determined that what was best for me was to step over the door and not open it!!!! Ahhh but how to get out???? That was truly a feat unto itself. I could not use the seat to pull my self out so I had to open the door and make sure I always had a rag handy so I could sort of roll out onto my knees and then stand up. Well that is really something to see especially in a busy parking lot!!!! I am sure most people thought I was just praying that either I could get up or not have to get in the loaner again!!!
The other thing about this LOANER CAR was the fact that the wind shield was lower than me sitting in the vehicle so I had to for the first time in my life drive looking over the wind shield!!!!! and if you don't think that brought more than a few stairs????
OH YEAH!!!!!!
So now you know why I wrote this. Because in my life I have never driven and most probably will never again drive this type of a "LOANER CAR!!!!!!!"
