I found a little Chevy SUV HHR - a vehicle that was on the low end of the SUV marketplace but this one was a high end for that model. 2009 is nine years younger than my deceased pickup, which I think has gone straight to the wholesaler. Alas. It will become a project for someone to repair (it runs great, there is nothing wrong with it except the body work - but it can't be safely driven because another accident would make the hood not buckle, it would be pushed back through the windshield.) Whoever is lucky enough to get this truck will replace the hood, the grill, the front bumper, and do the work to attach the bumper to the body properly. I got $1500 for trade-in.

Taking today off was not planned, but it ends up making a four day weekend with the Monday holiday. Lots to do, and lots to put away (the stuff that was in the pickup - when I cleaned it out I think there must have been at least five umbrellas in it!) and errands to run. I am astonished at how much larger the garage looks when this small vehicle is parked in it. The truck had only about six inches to spare behind the back bumper. :)
