Old Sammy did not Have a fit ...

The 0ld guy now has a Fit, though.  I had a slight accident in the recently purchased 06 Avalon and went to Germain Honda State Farm Appraisal for damage yesterday morning.   The estimate was made and, as I backed out of the parking space on their lot, I saw a Kentucky blue car that looked to be a Toyota Prius C.  I have had Toyota 07 Prius, 03 and 06 Avalon and 09 Camry Hybrid.   I was taken in by the KY blue.  I got out and looked it over and did not notice that it is a 16 Honda Fit, non-hybrid.  The state of Ohio has, very unwisely, started taxing hybrid owners extra.  

At 86, I had intended to glide in my driving and the Avalon is the best driving and riding car I have ever driven.  I looked for a used or a lease on a Toyota Avalon and settled for a 2006 model from an individual in a newspaper ad, just a couple of months ago.  After spending $1600 on brakes and seeing other problems down the road because the mechanic suggested the Avalon had damage from accidents front and back. I could see that I would have further expenses.  Be careful, some owners don't always report accidents for Carfax.

I was informed while looking into the KY blue car to buy, that it is instead, a 16 Honda Fit. It is, however, non-keyless, economical, and a small station wagon.  I drove it, showed it to my bride of 67 years, and bought it.  Granddaughter Tobey once suggested that I buy a Fit when I was looking, but I liked the Toyotas so well, I did not.  Stupid Ohio reps attacked hybrids, cars the Fed gave individuals bonuses to buy.  The Fit is non-keyless, which I enjoy because Old Sammy can't get along with keyless cars.  Please honk and wave if you see me in my KY Blue Honda Fit regaled in tasteful UK paraphernalia ... 

I love KY blue!  Go Cats!  Being a KY Wildcat basketball traditionalist gained me a Kentucky blue Fit.
