So yesterday coming down the Beeline, the alternator died in the S10. One more thing on the long list of problems that poor truck has had since we got it. In 120° weather I had to push the truck off the road into a gas station. That act alone prompted me to consider how much I’ve spent on that little Chevy. In my mind, enough to justify getting a new vehicle.

After much internet searching, I found a good deal. It’s a 2015 Jeep Patriot Sport. Bare bones, except it has air conditioning, and a CD player; enough for me. I’m ALMOST certain I got a good deal. 18,000 miles on the odometer, and a sticker price of $11,000.
