My New To Me Jeep Liberty

 I traded in my old car. It had just over 109,000 miles on it. The company that made my old car no longer sells their cars in the USA anymore. The few years before they left, they sold only electric cars. It was getting expensive to repair.

The vehicle that I replaced it with is a 2005 Jeep Liberty. It had just over 136,000 miles on it. I really like it. It has 4wd but one can shift to just 2wd. It can seat 5 people (old car only seated 2). One can carry a lot more than just the 5 people. Since it is bigger, it has a bigger hitch which means it can tow a lot more. I am looking to see what I can tow with it. 

It is supposed to be brown but it is not seem to be the kind of brown that I was thinking of . I like it having four doors instead of just two. It is easier to get into and out of the back seat via the back doors instead of getting into the back seats via the front seats; like on some cars with two doors and a back seat. 

This is the inside. The seats are really comfortable. One can see the shift lever. Just behind it is the shift lever for switching to and from 4wd. 

It is the Trail Ready edition. I am not sure what that means but it sounds cool. I believe it has a v6 engine in it. It is a lot of fun to drive. 

Filling it with gas will cost more since my previous car took had only 8 gallon fuel tank and this one has a 17 gallon fuel tank; even though my previous car took premium and this one takes regular. . It will cost more since the tires are bigger than my previous car. 

This one is way better in the snow. If I get stuck, I put it into 4wd and it gets out easily. It is higher off the ground which means more ground or snow clearance. The tires are bigger which means more grip on the roads or on snow. 

I named it Pete. I like Goofy but I think Goofy would drive a car instead of a SUV. I think Pete - Goofy's friend - would more likely drive a SUV. I like Goofy but I think I am more in Pete's size than Goofy's. 


enough bragging for now.

Tortola - Fantasy Banknotes

Image
  Currently I am into fantasy banknotes; especially ones with a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them (it would be neat to see some with Lady Di on them but have not found them, yet). I found these on eBay with the search words ' fantasy banknotes ' (some of them were kind of 'revealing').  This one is Tortola . I thought it was made up but it seems it does exist. I don't know if they have their own banknotes but it would be cool if they looked like these. I think these look and feel like current European banknotes. I think they are really well done. I think these are really well done. One can see a really nice picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. It is one of the reasons I got them. The other is that it was reasonably priced; i.e.., I could afford them. I believe this is the front of the banknotes. Here are the back of the banknotes. I think it looks really nice. I think it is very well done.  There are other sites that sell fantasy banknotes. I have a...

Book On George Washington Carver By Tonya Bolden

Image
          I found a book on the life of George Washington Carver  (Wikipedia link). It was not overly detailed but it does talk about his life and accomplishments. I think there are some really nice illustrations and photos in it.           I think it is great for those who want to learn about George Washington Carver but might not have a lot of time to read about him or just have a passing interest in him.           It was an easy read and it was also informative. It could lead someone to read more about him. I have an ebook on him that has more details about his life (subject of another post / blog).          I found it at the Thriftbooks (they have a lot of books at great prices) for a great price (not many left at the site - just click on the link). They have other books  (link on a search using his name) on him too.  Even the back of it is really n...

Barbuda - Fantasy Banknotes

Image
  I think that I might have gotten carried away; especially on fantasy banknotes that have a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. I have found some like this on eBay .  One of these are the Barbuda fantasy banknotes. I think they are really cool looking and look so real; like European ones that they have now. I thought it was a place that didn't exist but it seems that it does; Barbuda . I do not know if they have their own money but it would be cool if it looked like this.  I think it looks really neat. I like how it has a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. It is one of the reasons I got them. I think this is the front of them.  I believe this is the bank of them. It feels like the current banknotes from Europe.  I got them from eBay using the search words ' fantasy banknotes '. There was a lot of fantasy banknotes there (some were rather revealing).  There are websites that carry fantasy banknotes. I have some of them listed in my post ab...
