A hookup? For ME?

Did I mention that my '91 Escort finally gave out?

Have I already babbled about this? It's easy to forget who you told what. It's why I always tell the truth, because it's too much work keeping track of lies.

Well, the car was about to give out - when the mechanic broke the news that it needed its transmission rebuilt ($2500) it was a huge blow to its morale.

Cindy happened to mention my car issues while she was at work. Someone at her work who knew someone who knows someone took a few steps, Cindy cashed out a chunk of her work stock for the down payment and POOF!! I have a new car.

Not just a new-for-me-but-in-fact-quite-savagely-used, but NEW. This is the first time I've ever had a new car.

It was the most painless car-buying experience ever, no pressure, no haggling, just a damn good car at a damn good deal.

It boggles the mind. It's all thanks to Cindy! Yay!

  2. Given that you haven't told us what sort of car it is, we can only conclude that it is so horrendously embarrassing that the shame overpowers the natural masculine urge to discuss horespower, overhead camshafts and sound systems.

    I suspect that it's a pink Nissan Micra with Hello Kitty seatcovers.

  3. Yes, how about posting a picture of your new chariot for a visual seatcover inspection.
