Ugh. I hate waiting to hear about jobs. The place I interviewed for yesterday said they'd let me know by today, so I'm waiting for a call. BLAH it's stressful. A part of me doesn't want to get it, because I'd like to have the decision made for me. Another part wants it, and another part is just scared shitless about getting it.
In other news, I've pretty much decided to get a new car. My Jetta is six years old and it's getting on in years, so dad and I spent this morning test-driving and pricing various cars. The front-runner right now is the Toyota RAV4 or the Toyota Highlander. Probably the RAV4, though. It's a much nicer car than it used to be and it gets awesome gas mileage. I'm also going to go in and look at a Volvo station wagon (I want a sedan, but I'm also shopping for going up north if I get the job, and I need a 4x4 sort of thing for the snow up there...) and now is really the prime time to get one, since the 08s are coming out and I can get a pretty decent deal on an 07 model right now.
So - does anyone have a favourite car that I should look into? I know very little about cars and what's available out there. My budget is probably around the $30k mark for a new car - anywhere from $25k-$35k. So - suggestions? Help? If I don't get the job, I'm open to lots of different kinds of cars - SUVs, Hybrids, sedans, etc. If I get the job, it's got to be something with good four wheel drive, etc, etc. Help!?
