Ok smarty pants! You got me...sort of.
Yes, I bought a vehicle, we only had one, and you will need one when you get back. The local dealership was having a huge sale on used vehicles, trying to get rid of some of their old stock. It's not the prettiest thing on the road, and certainly not the fanciest, but it will be something for you to drive while you're home on leave, and it will take you to work and back when you get home for good.

So, there, I promised I'd tell you if you guessed right, but now..
GUESS WHAT KIND.

If you want to start guessing at random, go ahead, otherwise, clues to follow.... stay tuned.
