Today I am thankful for my car. We bought the Fiat a little over a year ago. The idea was that it would allow us to save money because at the time our only other vehicle was a Ford F350 diesel pick up truck.
Needless to say, that decision was God ordained. After driving 150 miles today for work it became more evident that although my car can't necessarily fit my clients in the car it's ok. I've had 1 client complain but my wallet isn't complaining like it could be.

Got Stalkers? I do.
Yep. I have people following me. Today I took my kids out to run some errands. I noticed lots of people looking our way. I figured that people were intrigued by our car. The sales guy from the dealership said to expect people to ask us about it, so I figured whatever. No one actually said anything, so I figured maybe that part was just hype.
Well, it's not. Tonight I took my daughter to swim lessons and as I was getting out of the car I was asked (politely) by someone if they could look at my car. I quickly remember that I had been given a stack of business cards from the sales guy so I grabbed one. (You see we were told that if someone walks into the dealership with a business card with one of our names on it and ends up buying a car, we would get a $100 check sent to us. They said that one guy had his car payment covered one month. So, why not right?) Luckily, I had given us a little buffer time or we would have gotten to her class late.
On the way home from the swim class, I was sitting at a stop light and looked in the rear view mirror to notice an iPhone staring back at me. Yep. Someone was taking a picture or video of the back of my car (not it's finest feature I might add).
Not only that, but when I turned down the street to get to my house, they followed me. As they passed me backing into my driveway I watched them crane their neck and slow down to get a better look. Being that there are lots of houses down my street (and it's a through street), I have no way of knowing if they turned just to see the car or if they were going to make the turn anyway.
All I know is that I now need to give myself more time when I go places, and I need to make sure I have business cards on hand and easily accessible at all times. Oh, and a sense of humor with this is going to be a MUST.
