terrshee's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temptation's Darts Assail Me "When Temptation's darts assail us, when in devious paths we stray, let Thy goodness never fail us, lead us in Thy perfect way." - Sacred Harp hymn "Autumn" (which certain friends associate with me and a silly hand gesture). And, ooo, but I am tempted. One of those offers that your car dealer periodically sends out to get you to trade in and buy a new one showed up in the mail yesterday. It was a generous guarantee on a trade in value. A few rough estimates based on that and MSRP says I could afford it. It would be a Subaru Forester. I love my little Subaru Impreza, but when I bought there was a certain amount of sacrifice to the god of sensibleness. I didn't need a Forester, and I knew it would be a vanity purchase. Five and a half years later it still niggles at me that I didn't get the Forester. I must now chant the mantra of higher insurance costs, being better off without a car payment and having already made the decision to put off purchasing for a year until I can find a deisel engine model so I can be environmentally responsible. But I am sorely tempted. Sorely. 8:01 a.m. - 2006-10-26 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- past tense - always tense - future tense |
