Last week, with the help of my brilliant son, we bought a Chevrolet. A seven seater beast, which looks more like a van, is the newest we have ever owned. It is as big as our old vehicle, but is more roomy. We have named it Lenny Tardis.
It is bigger on the inside.
Both my daughter and husband have driven it, but I am rather nervous.
Mostly because their first words were, we are not sure you possess the capability to handle it. That could be true, but I managed a Vauxhall, and that wasn’t small.
I am going to drive it today, in an empty car park, so I will get used to the gears, and the gas pedal, which only needs a light touch. The other thing I have to remember is to put diesel in, not petrol. Luckily, it says diesel over cap.
We sold our old vehicle to ‘‘We Buy Any Car’’ at a reasonable price.
It will be lovely to be able to drive the new car.
Sounds great! We recently bought 4 new tires for our 2007 Honda. We don’t drive around much anymore. But everybody/relatives are always welcome to come visit us. 😉

I don’t drive as much as I used to. I get driven to work, and my daughter uses it to go to work. I sometimes drive it at the weekends.

Lol 😂Mostly I tell him to change the gears because he cannot hear the car scream.

Ah, congratulations. It sounds like quite an experience getting used to that car, and remembering the right fuel to use. I’m sure you’ll get adjusted to the switch without too much trouble, though. ^_^

Time and patience, I guess, are the key factors for getting used to most changes in life. Hehe. Congrats again on the new car.

Don’t listen to those naysayers, Diana!
As for the diesel… usually, the size of the nozzle is different, no? Of course, I cannot remember if the diesel one is smaller or larger.

I loved driving the car, and it helps when it says diesel around the cap lol.

Good! And yes, that would definitely help (except when one becomes nonchalant and no longer pays attention!)

Or in a rush, but I am more confident in driving it now. Parking I’ve never been good at.

Take your time learning how to drive your new vehicle. Once you learn the basics driving will be a much more enjoyable experience. Good luck!
