The following writing is another letter that I am sharing with you because it shows my writing and how it always stays the same. It was written to the saleswoman…er, uh… the salesperson who helped me attain my vehicle. I hope you read my words and descriptions and can understand my excitement and gratitude for this van. So please read and enjoy my writing, as I have more to come.
Dear Savannah,
Thank you massively for your hard work in helping acquire my wheelchair-accessible 2024 Toyota Sienna minivan. I have a capacious appreciation in my heart for your patience with me and for putting up with the VA, as well. There was a deep distrust, and I all but called you a liar initially in my head until I decided to trust you. You did not disappoint me. Receiving this vehicle allowed me to break the bonds of bleak boredom, venture back into society, and mingle with the masses.
Although I am curious how far we traveled, we drove nearly every day the first week after you delivered the van. It felt as if our trips were miles and miles long; in actuality, they were not even close and quite comfortable. We also thought the gas gauge was malfunctioning as it never showed a fuel loss, and that is when I praised engineers and their hybrid engines. I later learned from YouTube that hybrid engines use mostly electric power on local roads and internal combustion engines on highways. So, I was extremely excited when I realized this vehicle would be sipping and not gulping gas greatly.
Although the trip to your shop to acquire the needed measurements took about an hour, the drive felt brief. You are an excellent conversationalist, which made me feel more comfortable. The trip also seemed shorter. I want to share the accolades: All the staff I interacted with within your company were perfectly positive people, making my experience great. Once again, thank you for working with me on everything. Rest assured, I will share your company contact info with others seeking transportation.

Unfortunately, I did not get a vehicle I could drive myself because I do not trust my hand-eye coordination or strength, which fluctuates. In this situation, I must train everyone who drives the van to strap me securely into the vehicle. We have been driving my new set of wheels for approximately a month and have only used a quarter tank of gas. I want to send a big thank you to the engineers for creating hybrid engines. You need to realize how essential it is for your mental well-being to get out of your house and interact with society. Although truth be told, interacting with humanity is indeed a double-edged sword.
