Quickly
There’s a new (2007) Corolla in the parking lot right now. Strangely, we (the sales person and I) thought that we were haggling over a 2006. It’s nice to feel I got a little something over on them.
Well, perhaps I got a little more than that. They didn’t make money on the deal, but it’s possible I could have looked for something with more perks. But time was of the essense - I didn’t have weeks to sweat a sales guy and shop around. One of these days I’ll get one of those vehicles with those new-fangled locks that are powered by something other than your finger.
(She actually had a few more perks than I thought and was most pleasantly surprised to get in her to drive off and find the driver’s seat tilts up and down - one of my big complaints over Veronica was that the seat tilted too far and I had to sit on an old lady’s cushin for my back.)
I’m sure she’s a wonderful car (yes, I am 95% sure of her name. I’ll spill tomorrow along with pictures), but my heart has just not been in this. Moving, school, living with someone, selling my first place, finding a job…all big enough steps without this stress. Hopefully though with the actual purchase behind me, I can get on with the other important to-dos and just enjoy her. At least until the first payment is due or my new insurance premium is calculated.
