Life, Liberty, and the Purchase of Happiness
So, I got rid of the second car today. About damn time. I am finally free of a part of my life that I would rather soon forget. I especially loved the Mazda because it was my first car that was paid for 100% out of my own pocket. I chose it for all the wrong reasons though. In hindsight I think a big reason for choosing it was to get the approval that I so desperately wanted at that point in my life. It never got me the approval. Lesson learned. Won't repeat.
I went and test drove a BMW 328i convertible today and I absolutely love it. Only time will tell if it was meant to be. I'm leaning towards something cheaper though, but I"m not in a rush so I will get what I want this time around.
On a note somewhat related to all of that... I'm reading a book called "A Life in Smoke". It had a quote (the girl had it taped to her office door) that I found ironic due to my thoughts on having bought the mazda for all the wrong reasons. The title of this post is that quote.
