catscradle Feb. 13th, 2007 11:41 am)So Lisa calls yesterday to tell me we're getting a new car, which is good because the old Geo Metro is about to sputter it's last breath. The roads from all the snow storms are torn up and making mulch of the state's vehicles. And the car is 10 years old and did I mention? A Geo. Three cylinders in mountain country. Yeah.
But lo and behold, our soon to be new car is a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am! Like fire engine red and all slinky. It has a vanity mirror and THREE cupholders. Yep. The big time. Oh, and it drives well. Low milage too. Plus Lisa talked them down by about a thousand and we'll get more off with the trade-in of the Geo. Got the carfax report (checks out) and we're taking it to the mechanic today. If all goes well, we'll have it tonight or tomorrow.
As we were test driving it last night I turned to Lisa and said, "You realize now we'll have to lock. We've hit middle class! We lock!" Yep, a sure sign we're climbing up the ladder. Soon it will be gated communities with Naziesque HOAs and yippie dogs with no hair if we don't get a hold of the situation now.
