My new toyota car 2016

Ironically whatever you have set your mind hoping it will not change may not hold water for me.

When I retired in 1997 I convinced myself that I am going to spend my well earned money on a new Toyota car and going to use it forever.

Today history has repeated itself . New year 2016 in spite of my stuborn protest that I am not willing to part with my old faithful toyota all my family members and even my wife has convinced me to change my old faithful to a brand new toyota vois.

My protest based on my evaluation that the car is roadworthy and it should last until I should give up driving or die. It has served me well and the usage of the car on the road is mainly town driving and marketing and running errands. For present routine my wife and I goes to UK for a period of four to six months. Occassionly we travel overseas elsewhere for holiday and local travelling are usually with groups and we are on tour buses.

The good reason for buying a new car is for sole purpose of providing transportation for my granddaughter who studies in International school in Damansara.

I have silently retiring to the fact that I am now 73 years of age and that driving close by during non peak traffic hours is what I am comfortable with. Well this idea did not go well with almost everybody. I am sad that even my wife is against me and feels that I am a little too quick to brand me "old"
Well what do my close family know what goes through my mind each time I drive on the road. I am responsible for the life and safety of my grandchildren, I will always do my very best and pray nothing untowards happened. The car is not my concerned anymore, yes it is new and expensive so help me God I will do whatever I can to protect her.
