I was driving south on I-95 in Florida yesterday after a biz deal gone bad and decided to stop in Champion Motors in Pompano. Traded my 1999 Ford Windstar on this beauty. Basic, no options C2. Plain Jane, just pretty and fun. Can't do everything the windstar did but does lots of stuff better.

The new 997 sure rides better than my 996. Nice stereo and cup holders too!

You traded a '99 Windstar for a new 997? Now, that's an upgrade.
Congratulations!
I'm sittin' here wondering what you would have bought if the "biz deal" had gone well? Nevermind, you made the right choice.

Congrats, she's beautiful!

I remember a story of a salesman who was worried about some deal. He decided that if he closed the sale, he would reward himself by buying a new suit. If the deal failed, he would still treat himself to a new suit to reward himself for putting in his best effort. Several new suits later he hit a positive streak and ended up very successful. Apparently the feel-good he had from his new threads gave him better confidence which helped close new deals. I don't know how much of this story is truth and how much fable, but it tells that there is nothing wrong with a constant reminder that you are worth success.

Congradulations on your new toy!
