Equinox

A pleasant fall day out for a drive a few errands to run in warm afternoon traffic was light and the weather was good and I thought that everything was going good then with my ear I heard a strange sound wasn't sure what was like someone hitting a pan as my speed it did change so did the beating pan had louder it slowly grew till much too loud carefully I drove to a dealer where the service man said my engine was dead nine thousand dollars for a new one my truck was worth three when should they begin I could not believe what they did say I could buy three in stead of fixing one my day which was so nice had took a bad change suddenly it was not such a nice day to salesman I did talk told them of my woe and they told me that they had just thing a much newer truck in effervescent pearl black leather seats it included everything a backup camera a GPS a big V-6 like in a Camaro zero to sixty in seven seconds flat gets nineteen miles to a gallon of gas the radio needs as subscription so do the controls if to work fine don't forget insurance tires and oil it all does add up to quite a bill but fun it is when I punch the gas and the engine suddenly roars at all the people I pass it may be a all wheel drive but seven inches high no off-roading I do miss my transfer box my low gear and being so high I guess I can live in a equinox with a Camaro's V-6 in effervescent pearl
