Coweta Fayette Real Estate & Newnan Homes for sale blog by Richard Weisser of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers

Down and out in Newnan GA!

Down and out in Newnan GA!I have to leave my car at the shop today for some too-long deferred repairs. As you might expect, the universal forces have conspired against me and I have a million things to do.

My gut tells me to postpone the work but after nearly not making it home last night I know that prudence must override my natural instincts and it looks like I will be without wheels all day.

Machines need maintenance. It’s a fact of life. But in the real estate business, if we don’t have transportation we are dead in the water!

And that’s just the way I feel right now.

It’s going to be an interesting day.

Good morning, Richard.... when I was actively listing real estate, I always had two vehicle...a jeep and a mercedes....now I just have my trusty jeep(11 year old vehicle that works great) but when it needs servicing, it's time to rent a vehicle for the day.... I can't be without transportation...that would be like a day in jail.

Richard - Better sitting at home working on paperwork than sitting on a road somewhere hoping for a lift! Enjoy the day inside today!

As my Father the auto-mechaic always said: you can give me a little now and then or wait and it will be a whole lot more!

Richard, being without my car is right up there with being without the internet :)

Good morning Richard. Three words: rent a car. If independence is important, you can do it. Whatever? Enjoy the day.

Oyyyy..I am lost without my car, my garmin, but at least it isn't your phone or your computer, right?

Been there.  Then I just grab a different vehicle.  The old truck is hard on gas, but gets me where I must be.

I always worry more about the bill!

It is such a pain to be car-less for a single day but the rewards will be tremendous. I am sure your day will still be quite productive!

Not sure which is worse... no internet or wheels. At least you have internet so you can work from home if you choose.

Richard, rent a car. It's inexpensive and your work schedule won't miss a beat.

Hi Richard.  My guess is that Miata has quite a few miles on it...

I don't think they have made them for several years!

Get the car fixed, and enjoy your day!

Richard,

That is when you drive your wife to work and use her car!  Of course you need to pick her up too!!!

Richard,

Nice car, looks like a lot of fun to drive. But, then again you have good weather for most of the year.
