select saloon
we purchased a car on Sunday. a 1989 Toyota Corona Select Saloon, which has been driven either 191,000 kilometers or 1,191,000 kilometers. one of the windows doesn't work but the heating/air conditioning seems to operate fine. 3 out of 4 tires are in good condition but we have a spare. most importantly, it drives fine and the brakes work. needless to say, we are now members of the New Zealand Triple-A (simply called 'AA').
of course the oddest thing about the car is that the driver sits on the right side. so naturally i was very nervous during our test drive, especially when i noticed some idiot on the wrong side of the road coming right at me:
i said, "hey, what's that fool up to?"
della said, "oh my god. honey!"
the dealer's auntie said, "oh, by the way love, in new zealand we drive on the other side. you might have better luck on the left side of the road."
so that was fun. hopefully we fair better tomorrow when we head up to Warkwarth to stay with our first host.
