Thursday night I set up another appointment at a dealership but canceled to have it moved to Monday. The prospect of being fresh meat again after a long day at work wasn’t doing it for me. I had also hoped the weekend would give me more time to research and prepare a bit more. That plan went flying out the window after I picked up two extra shifts. Instead, I worked a 30-hour weekend and barely had time to even breathe. Monday rolled around and I headed off to a second Kia dealership tired and unprepared.
Mileage and dash of "The Taurus"
It would be a lie to say that the whole encounter was peachy, because it certainly wasn’t. The Taurus and I only take the back roads, which turned a 20-minute drive to the dealership into a 45-minute drive. Eventually, we made it there and walked in to find Keenan. He took me out to the lot to show a few Sportages. Then I test drove one. From my first experience at the other Kia dealership I had decided that I needed to actually get in the car even if I wasn’t ready to buy that day. I did that this time. The responsiveness of the car was a novelty I had not experienced in a long time, further illustrated by the jerking of my passenger’s body back and forth. When we pulled back into the dealership Keenan asks, “Well, how’d you like it?”
