Keep in mind that the Yaris I had was the beneath standard package with power nothing and no cruise.  I think I was lucky it came with a steering wheel.  But I did love having such amazing gas mileage.  That and the fact that it was so tiny I could park it anywhere.  

But this new gas guzzling SUV/Crossover/Whatever the heck it’s called is so luxurious, I’m quickly getting spoiled. This new big, comfortable beasty has power everything, cruise, adjustable stuff, tons upon tons of space and roomy comfort. 

 It’s got a dozen way cool gadgets that tell me how many miles I have left to go on my current tank of gas, what my average mileage is (I don’t look at that one, it’s depressing) and even what my tire pressure is.  It’s also got OnStar, which I’m still learning about.  It’s kind of freaky speaking to them because all of a sudden a voice is coming from your car speakers calling you by name like you’re old friends.  But it’s super convenient.  And it makes me feel all special, like I’m a bigwig of Tiger Woods type status.  

So don’t be surprised if I pass you on Goodman Rd with my nose in the air, cause I’m just that important.
