However, I cannot help thinking that I should buy a new vehicle upon our return to Canada. Considering our stays in British Columbia will be limited to just seven months a year for the foreseeable future, such a big purchase is a little hard to justify. I'm sure I'll be able to, though.
This was taken on film 21 years ago this month.
I can always proceed on the basis of the safety issues alone. The truck we bought in 1996, when arriving in North America to live, was built early that year. It has no electronics visible when inside the cabin. More importantly, the Ranger has just one airbag for me in the steering wheel. So when Jay sits in the suicide seat, he is completely unprotected as compared to modern vehicles. I'm getting older too; perhaps, I could use the help of 'Lane Assist'.
Moreover, researching and shopping for a new vehicle will be really fun. I think I owe it to myself to splurge a little on transportation. I've already started communication with a dealership at home.
