NERMAL II
NERMAL II
Originally uploaded by gnat23 I know, I know, I've got a ton of things to catch up ye olde LJ on (wedding! honeymoon! hoot!)...
But for now, just something quick: I bought me a fun car. A *convertible* even. 'Cause poor Nermal the Hyundai That Could was a great car, efficient, and such, but he was getting old and developing more expensive problems on a regular basis than he was worth fixing. I let him to pasture while he could still enjoy his retirement.
And, dare I say, out of the three dealerships we visited, the last one was certainly the best; no weird games or tricks like the other two played. Although it might be because a mile away was another used one, same year, color, and almost the exact same mileage and features... so the poor salesguy knew we had him cornered. "What do I have to do to keep you from looking at the other one?" he begged.
As it turns out, I have freakishly excellent credit. That seems to help with the paperwork exercise.
In the end, I got to drive off with my man, wind tousling our hair as we zipped across the Golden Gate Bridge, the Footloose soundtrack blasting, sun all around us. I know money can't buy happiness, but I'll be dammed if it can't contribute to a few smiles.
