OMG ZEE UPDATES!
- I need to get caught up in a couple classes, things have been weird this semester and a lot of stuff is happening all at once, not a good thing.
- I got a couple new 360 games. Burnout Paradise is the awesome, it has online Co-op for up to 8 people and I have been laughing so hard I was in tears from some of the stuff I have done with a few people who got the game. Both Charlie's, Jon, my uncle, and others make for great crash buddies. Also, Lost Odyssey rocks, sweet new 360 exclusive RPG, love it.
- I have been researching my next car to an almost obsessive degree. I am finally down to three, a Ford Fusion SEL, A Mercury Milan, or a Mazda 3 Hatchback Grand Touring. I am basically going to print out two builds for each vehicle (the one I want, and the one I am willing to go with), take them to each dealer, and find out what my A-plan cost per month would be. Whichever one gives me the best price for the features gets my business. All three are excellent cars with great reviews, so there are no losers in this contest.
But the dealers will know that they are competing for the business to make sure they do not slip any extra costs in there. I have been doing uber research from a couple car buying websites, and now that I have learned a good number of their tricks and how to avoid them, and noticed how they screwed me on the Caliber, I am ready to do it right this time. Its funny how much dealers screw over customers just for a few bucks extra, sad really. Its also funny how many people think they got a good deal on their car who still got taken for a ride, there is a lot to this business...
If I could afford it though, 2008 Sport Trac XLT 4x4, all black. But that probably won't happen until I get a full time job. What sucks is that I need to get my new car by June, and I graduate at the end of July, meaning if I could wait a couple more months I might have a full time job and could get what I wanted.
But oh well, I have no problems with the cars I picked out, just a difference between the car you want from the limited choices you have, and the care you WANT, period.
