Wonderbox XVI

Posted on Tuesday 23 September 2003 by Joshua

Well, finally after many weeks of searching, the Wonderbox XVI has arrived. Even though I love cars, I was truly tired of looking for them. Every time I would drive by a dealer, I would strain to see if there was anything even remotely interesting, only to be disappointed by the plethora of domestic vehicles that I would find. I had been looking for toyota truck for a long time, but anything I could afford [which isn’t very much] was just junk. One day, while desperately paging through the Indiana Auto RV [a fine publication, I might add] I discovered this 1993 Volvo 850 GLT.

It had every option known to man [almost] including those wonderful heated seats and the little windshield wipers on the headlights. So i called the guy and he told me about it and I thought ok cool. I called a couple days later to see if I could drive down to Peru and check it out. He had taken it to Ft. Wayne to get it fixed so I waited for the next week or so for it to be done. I called yesterday to see if it was done and they said it was, so I hoped the Dave Carey express straightaway to Peru. It was all was hoping for – a one owner car with every service check performed. They obviously garaged it and it is super clean. In addition, the work the dealer had done [$500 worth of new timing belt, etc] did not cost me anything. If I had bought it right when I saw it, I would have had to fix it later anyway, so God was definitely blessing me in ways that I did not even realize. I am excited and happy that God saw fit to give me such a nice car for so little money.

    I’m wonderfully excited about this, Josh! I’ve been hoping you’d get something good and you did. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past week, it’s that God’s timing is perfect. I always knew that, but I see it clearly as of late.

    Congratulations!

    PS – …where’s mine? 🙂
