happy, happy, joy, joy

I got a car. I got a car.
I got a car,
hey, hey, hey, hey.
I got a car! I got a car!
I got a car,
hey, hey, hey, hey!
Admit it. You people out there thought I'd never get a car, huh? Well, I fooled you all. HA!! Did a darn good job of fooling myself, too.
It's so weird to realize that I own a car. Pure craziness!

le sigh

No car as of yet. Went and looked at it, though. It's a '96 Eagle Vision. It's got a 3.3 V6 under the hood and oh so quiet. That thing has got some cajones, I tell you.

It's got some minor things wrong, like the rear left parking brake is pretty much non-existent and the same rotor will have to be replaced soon. It also has 161,000 miles on it. That's quite a bit. But, if taken care of, my macho car guy friend said I could probably get a total of 250,000 out of it.

They were asking $1,855 or best offer. I offered $1,500 but they weren't willing to go that low. Still, my buddy Ed said to think it over and, if I decide I really do want it, that I can feel free to creep up to what they're wanting. So...I think I'm gonna start creeping. We'll see.

Ed was gonna check the blue book on this baby and see what it says. So...yeah.

New car for me?????

So I'm gonna go look at a car tomorrow. I'm bringing along my car guy friend Ed since I know next to nothing about cars.

Of course the guy on the phone is gonna talk the car up, but he said that it's in really good condition, starts up perfectly, the brakes are good, and there's new tires on it. But we'll just have to see now won't we? Yes...yes we will.
