(My Canon Soul)


I got me a new car. Yep, I turned in the old 2002 Toyota Tacoma pickup and got a brand spanking new Kia Soul.

I loved the truck and didn’t ever have a problem with it but I didn’t like 18 mpg mileage.

Plus we don’t go camping any more so I didn’t need to carry all the gear that it takes to go camping. Especially when you are an old fat guy like me that likes his comforts.

And I had been conferring with the family mechanic. To get all the recommended service done would have been quite a chunk of money, and I’d still have a truck with over a 100K miles.

The Soul doesn’t have the best mileage out there and it isn’t the lowest price, and it looks like kind of strange. I was all set to buy a Honda Fit but found out that to get satellite radio built in I would have to pay $2000 for a “Navigation Package” but that it would give me turn by turn directions. Sorry Honda, I’m a geocacher. I own four GPS’s. I got turn by turn directions out the butt. Bad move Honda!!!

(Sweetie deciding whether she is going to steal my Soul.)

But it is funky looking, I can plug my ipod to it, it has Satellite Radio. It has good power, its fun to drive. Lots and lots of safety features, and a great warranty. You sit upright, and I liked the dealer and the sales lady. It’s not a sedan. I kind of wanted an Austin Mini. This is my cheaper, more reliable, roomier, higher sitting up Austin Mini that I can plug my Ipod Touch into.

Plus it has a cool commercial. I don’t recall ever having seen the commercial but I am very good at tuning out commercials and boring people.

This commercial appeals to my young, hip, urban, contemporary midlife crisis side.

Wish me well!
