Blue Sammy

I got a new car.  

Considering the spreadsheet I put together comparing horsepower, gas mileage, passenger and cargo volumes, crash safety ratings, and reliability and service scores of various subcompact, sub $20K cars, getting the exact same car I had before was a little anti-climactic.  It was, however, blue instead of red (I call it Blue Sammy) and it did come with some things my old car didn’t have like tinted windows, cruise control and a pen holder in the glove compartment. Cookie, my roommate’s ex-girlfriend’s dog, seemed disappointed that I didn’t take her for a ride and was indifferent about my new purchase.  But I guess dogs don’t really use pens, so…
