After driving Chrysler product vehicles for the past 38 years, I have purchased my first Chrysler.
I had this more or less dropped in my lap, and since I have been looking for a nice vehicle to have and enjoy, I decided to buy it.
It's a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country Limited. A one owner vehicle with less than 25,000 miles on it. It was owned by an older man who passed away in May, and since nobody in his family wanted it, it was offered to me. after seeing this van and driving it and discussing price, a deal was struck, and I will be getting it Friday.
While this is not what I was really looking for (it has almost every option offered on it) I have never owned anything that is so nicely equipped as this van is, nor in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought it to be possible to have a vehicle as nice as this one is. I consider it to be a once in a lifetime opportunity that I was completely unable to pass up.
I always thought that Chryslers were for "rich people" which I never have been or ever hope to be!
I always bought Dodge cars and trucks until last year when I bought my first Plymouth, simply because Dodge offered more vehicle for the money. I found out some years back that I don't like driving vehicles made by anybody other than by Chrysler.
This is the reason I did not attend the PWA rally in June. I knew that if I did, I would not be able to afford to buy the van as well. I felt badly about making all the plans to attend the rally, and then not showing up, and while I was dissapointed about missing the rally, the situation being what it was, until I "got the van" I did not feel able to explain why I wasn't coming to the rally until it became a reality, just in the event the deal fell through.
Since I was divorced a few years ago, I have lived alone, and I found that I had to completely change the way I live, and that it was most likely a permanent change, since I had to start over just like I did when I left my mother and dad's house at age 21 with almost nothing, and I didn't feel like I wanted to put myself in a situation, that this could possibly repeat itself, everything that happened physically and emotionally during the time of the divorce and the time following it were the most difficult of any period in my life.
Add to all this, that I am now making less money after taxes than I did before the divorce, it creates a living situation that is very trying at times.
I am not complaining, nor am I looking for sympathy, I am putting this out so that you , who I consider to be my friends, will be able to understand why things happened as they did. I can only hope that I will be able to attend the rally next year. I would like to thank everyone in advance for understanding. This place and all the people who inhabit it are very special to me!
