I'm baaaaaack!!!!!!!!

Reserved a Hyundai Elantra, got a $5 upgrade to a Nissan Altima. Sledgehammer motor on that thing, comfy seats. Decent looking, if a little bit bland in silver. Base model with steel wheels and hub caps, still nicely equipped with CVT (that actually works), Bluetooth, reverse camera, and keyless push button start among other things. A little undertired for such a capable powerplant and chassis IMO.

Overall it seems a very capable, if a little bland, alternative to the ubiquitous Camry or Accord if you need a family transportation appliance. Myself, I preferred the Malibu.

 

Almost done with errands. Truck should be done. Just a couple things left to do. Dispatch is breathing down my neck; he's got a bunch of loads sitting around and no available drivers. Apparently freight is starting to pick up a little. Good to hear.

 

New passenger. He's spent his whole life in a shelter because nobody wanted him. He's only a year old. He's been adopted out once but they brought him back.

My heart went out to him because I know how it feels to be an outsider.

He's still settling down, but so far he's a real lover. Doesn't much like other dogs, which I suspect had something to do with his difficulties. Don't know if I can train that out of him from the truck, but he bonded to me and The Hot Chick very quickly.

He was about to be labeled unadoptable, and they had no room. And their funding has been slashed. So you know what was about to happen to him....

I just wish I could have rescued the other one (his brother) with him (but found out he was adopted later that day so happy ending for both of them)

Better pics when I can. He's still settling down.
