Thankfully, you're safe and survived the 90 mph hurricane force winds! It must have been frightening.

I've had 9 cars in my life. I've enjoyed each of them and always kept them clean and held to their service schedules so they all lasted a long time.

My current favorite is the one I have now. It's a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek (white with a black leather interior) with all the computers, bells and whistles. I bought it a couple of years ago second-hand. It's remarkably comfortable, has all-wheel drive (for the mountains) and the stereo is superior. It gets around 34-37 mpg.

Respectfully, I've never been into Jeeps. They're very cool but they're too loud for my taste. Still, I know they're excellent vehicles.

Happy May Day!
