Short update
Because I am feeling so taciturn these days. *sigh*
*it's Week 2, Day 2 of CB's epic Call In Sick and Piss Everyone Off campaign. Am enjoying the quiet for as long as I can. Cuz when she makes her grand return, the shit most definitely will hit the fan.
*I was having car trouble the last few months. $700 worth. Final diagnosis was a blown head gasket, which is apparently A Very Bad Thing. So I sucked it up and went and a new (to me) car, with my crippled Beloved Grand Am as a trade-in. My only non-negotiable requirements were that it would have to have a V6 and be 10K-ish. I got both. Now I am in debt for a 2005 Kia Optima for the foreseeable future. It's only been two days and I was very attached to my Grand Am - more than I thought it was possible - so I can't say I LOVE the new car yet, but it drives very well and I'm getting used to how it handles. And yay, no more uncertainty.
*So Twilight Fan ships Bella/Edward. During the down times at work, I have been spamming her with Bella/Carlisle vampire UST snippets. Not because I ship them (or anything else about Twilight), but because Carlisle is a hottie in the movies, I have daddy/authority issues, and I want to shock her out of her Twu Wuv stupor. I am what fandom made me.

I'm in the market for a new car myself. I think maybe a crossover. My beloved Princess has finally gotten to the point where it is more expensive to fix her than she is worth.

Things Happened and I ended up getting financed for a Blue Ford Focus - '08. Less mileage, better car, nice all around. The Kia was white and reminded me of a state car, plus it felt 'light'. The Focus is heavier feeling, and it reminds me of my beloved Grand Am. I miss that car.
Sorry about Princess. It sucks when it gets too expensive to hang onto. Mine was paid off, and I hated giving that up for a second car payment.

She's an old girl but again, she is paid off. I got her in 2001 so she's lasted me a good 10 years. I just am so anti-car payment. I'm heading up to Vegas to see if the 10K I have saved can buy me a car outright.

I initially rejected the Focus because I had always heard bad things about it but hubby convinced me to take it out on a test drive. The dealership was accomodating as hell and the test drive went better than the Kia one. So here we are. *sigh*

I'm pretty good at bargaining and Vegas has cars priced much lower than the rest of the US. I just need to decide what I want. Lots and lots of test drives and research for sure.

If I was wealthy wealthy, I'd be driving a gun-metal grey British Jag in addition to the Charger (black or red) or a Mustang (black or red).
Yeah, I do like the Focus. I even like the color. So it's all good.
