The saleslady at the dealership where I bought my new car! Yes the Crazy Daisies now have wheels! : )

I was nervous going into a buy car, worried about dealing with super-greasy-sleazy-salesman- but had the complete opposite experience!

We found after it was her first sale. : ) God is good and yahhooo Crazy Daisies Road Trip Time!
