Sometimes I'm prone to violence, it's in my chemistry

The current soundtrack of my life: Morningwood's Morningwood, Cobra Starship's Hot Mess, The Used's Artwork, and My Chemical Romance's Three Cheers for Sweet RevengeOne of these things is not like the others! I got the first three albums less than two months ago; I got Three Cheers two years ago. And yet! I never skip a Three Cheers track when it ( Read more... )

I think I might actually pass out when the new album arrives. *GRABBYHANDS*

YES THIS EXACTLY. :D I played TBP for about 8 months straight - waaaaant new music.

Look into the cars, there are some good deals out there right now!

YAY to discovery! How many of us can say we discovered something today - you know other than something strange in the fridge or garage :D

Happy birthday, hon!

And not to bring you down, but I just remembered one thing you want to look into when you're considering your car choices. Don't forget to check to see what you insurance rates will be with the v6 vs the 48, and the mustang vs a more boring car. Sometimes they'll charge you out the wazoo when they see you buying a "performance" or "muscle" car out of expectation you'd be crazy driving it. Just one more thing to think about.

Thank you! :)

No no, don't worry about bringing me down - I need to be very practical about this! That's an excellent point, and one I hadn't considered. I had thought about insurance in a general way, but didn't consider it might be higher for the fun cars. How should I go about looking into that? I don't even know what insurance company I'm going to use. Any recommendations?

Basically, you can just call some local insurance agents, and ask them to give you a ballpark figure based on your age, make/model/year of car you are buying (ask if v6 vs v8 matters), etc. For ballpark estimates, don't let them check your credit -- too many credit checks will actually bring your credit down which will adversely affect your car buying and insurance state (yes, car insurance prices changed based on your credit rating).

Your uncle will probably know some of the local agents based on his car insurance as well as that of friends etc.

Your rate will go down based on safety features (air bags, anti lock breaks, car alarms), but will go up based on performance things (4-wheel drive, which hit me in college when I took my parents jeep, engine size, etc).

You'll be lucky that you're still in the midwest, price wise, but probably get a college town/metro area hit on price still.

Thaaank you! ♥

Hee, yay cars! :D I don't know about the Charger, it's kind of... stocky looking? Idk, it just isn't as sexy as the Camaro. Then again nothing is, so perhaps I should stop using that as a standard. :P

Isn't that trade in deal only for cars with bad mileage? My car actually has quite good mileage! But it's definitely worth less than that, probably more like $2000 with its 130k miles and dinged up exterior.
