Sheila Has a New Car!

 

Sheila and me with her "new" Camry at the CarMax in Kennesaw.

Sheila and I drove to Kennesaw tonight and came back with a "new" car. 

We bought a 2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid in 2013 for Sheila at CarMax. We loved that car. It got very good gas mileage. It was very comfortable. It had lots of bells and whistles that we enjoyed having including even what I call "bun warmers" -- heated front seats. She drove it back and forth to Kennesaw for her work for a couple of years. She had not had it long when she got caught in the "Snowpocalypse" and the red Camry was a great blessing. She spent eight hours in stop and go driving in the snow, We enjoyed our driving trips in that car, including a wonderful ten-day trip all the way to California by way of numerous national and state parks, and several weeks later a six-day trip back to Rome.

So we really wanted another hybrid with similar amenities and a few extra. That's what we got. We have all the goodies of the old car plus a much improved electronics. It has wonderful back up camera and "blind spot" indicators built into the side mirrors. One of the disadvantages of the old Camry was that the battery robbed lots of space from the trunk. Evidently the battery in the new car is smaller and relocated so that the trunk is very spacious. 

The "new" car is a 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid with less that 50K miles on it.
