VIVA LAS VEGAS!

I feel like I need to head south with the luck that I had this evening.

I was invited to attend a "New Car Clinic" at the Honda Dealership where I bought my car. I hadn't decided yet if I was going to go, but my friend told me that she thought it was informative and they gave away prizes. BONUS! When I didn't have anywhere else that I had to be tonight, I figured that I would go.

I talked to my sister right before I left work. I think that she is convinced that I am the luckiest person around. She told me I was going to win big at the event tonight.

When I got there they had a nice spread of food out for us. FREE FOOD! Great because I was hungry. They gave us all a raffle ticket and we could also put our name in the drawing for the grand prize.

They have 4-5 presentations by a Highway Patrolman, sales, parts, service departments, etc. In between each one they drew out 2-3 raffle ticket numbers. The raffle prizes were Honda First Aid Kits, Honda lunch boxes, and licence plate frames that said HONDA.

The first number drawn was 361288 my number! I won one of the first aid kits. I have to admit I was kind of bummed because I already have a really nice first aid kit in my car that I received from my bosses and I REALLY wanted the license plate frame. (I had looked at buying one of these but they are $30. Did I want one that bad?)

The night came to a close and they drew out the winning name for the ipod......it was ME! I am now the proud new owner of an ipod nano.

They had told us we could go up to the sales front desk to see if our license plates had come in yet. Mine were there and one of the guys from the service dept. put them on for me. After they were on I was really thinking I needed the Chrome Honda frame. I went to talk to the parts guy. He only had one that said ACCORD. He told me he would be getting more in. Did I want to buy that one now or what and buy two at the same time? I decided to get the one. He then asked me if I had won anything. I told him what I had won, but then he just gave it to me.

Everyone had the chance to win 2 prizes. Some didn't win anything, the others won 1 prize.....I came away with 3!
