Little Things That Matter

When you first get a new car, it takes a while to get to know it.  There are a few little things that I like about the car.   I like the digital reading that shows all the information you can see in this photo.  I especially like the digital speed because I find that in the daylight the regular speedometer  is hard to read.  (It is not as bright as it looks in the picture)
     The car doesn't have a sensor that turns the lights on and off  automatically, but you can just turn on the lights and they go off when you turn off the car and come back on when you restart.  Since the Fiat 500 is a small car I don't mind driving with the lights on all the time anyway.  ( I was glad to know that they actually did go off automatically because I the first time I drove with the lights on I forgot to turn them off)

Trapped in the showroom

Due to major renovations to the concrete surrounding the showroom entrances, my car was unable to be moved out on the day I bought it.   The next day, when they could get it out, the original wheels were put back on. We picked it up at 5:30.  Here comes the food part of the blog! To celebrate we went to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants -      
              San Miguel                
              506 West University Drive 
              McKinney, TX 75069-4823
                (972) 548-2345

They have very good margaritas and really cold beer.  The chips and salsa are 
some of the best around and everything from the menu that I have eaten has 
been excellent. I try to choose something different every time but I usually end up going 
back to my favorite - cheese enchiladas.  The service is great  and so is the price.
