Julie Has a New Ride Too!

Julie officially owns a new Yukon. I say officially, because she has been driving it already even though she hadn't officially purchased it.

The Friday we were leaving town to start our vacation was when she decided on which one she wanted. Most of the new Yukons on the lot have the optional captains chairs in the second row. Because of the dogs, she wanted to have the standard second row bench seating. In the color she wanted (Sonoma Red Metallic), the nearest one with the options she wanted was located in Morrow, GA. Our local dealer was going to let us take one of their Yukons to Morrow (Atlanta area) to trade for the one Julie wanted. Unfortunately, there was no one available that day in Morrow that could authorize a dealer trade. Our dealer made arrangements to have the vehicle ready for Julie to pick up on Monday when we returned from vacation. So, on our way to the beach house we made a stop in Morrow on Friday night to visit her new SUV.

On Monday, when I attempted to contact our bank to make arrangements for the purchase, I realized it was Veterans Day and they were closed. The dealer let Julie take the Yukon home anyway and she completed the purchase today at lunch.

Our plan now is to sell my Pontiac Bonneville. I dropped it off at my brother-in-law's last night so he could do a detail job on it. If you ever need a car detailed, Tim is the guy to go to. He is very meticulous when he details a car. He detailed our Pontiac Vibe when we wanted to sell it and it looked practically new. I can't wait to see how the Bonneville looks when I pick it up tomorrow.
