As you may remember, I drive a 2000 Camry LE. It's a sweet ride.
In 2001 I was thinking I might need a car. We had two older cars but my husband, Ken, was no longer driving so I, essentially, had a car and a spare. We've always driven cars until they died because cars are terrible investments.
But then my son, Scott, who buys and sells all sorts of commercial real estate, bought a small used car lot on Orange Avenue, the main street going north and south in downtown Orlando.
I saw this as a sign from God. Also, a short window of opportunity.
So I bought my little Camry with matching leather seats and sun roof. It's now 14 years old so I hesitate spending any more big money on repairs. So when the door handle broke in half the other day I was depressed. We took it to the body shop guy who said the repair would be $213.00.
What to do?
Dave came home, got on the computer and found the exact matching door handle. It arrived yesterday. The cost was $8.95. The body shop guy will install it on Monday at a greatly reduced price.
Sweet!
