Yesterday, I became the proud owner of a new Whirlpool refrigerator. I believe in this brand and regret that I did not buy one before. I screwed up and bought a Frigidaire, which two years later turned to junk. It would have cost me almost as much to fix the old one as to buy the new one — a no-brainer.

In my neighborhood, most people have a refrigerator in their carport as well as one in their kitchen. That's not a scientific observation, but I see them quite often when I  glance into open carports. They moved from the old house with a refrigerator that they discarded, though it was perfectly functional. It was the wrong color. Horrors!

Well, now I have two Whirlpools, white and stainless steel, LOL. However, I understand that some people do this deliberately for extra cold storage. Just like they may want a freezer in the storeroom.
