Dec. 26th, 2005 11:28 pmDoctor Who!!! Oh, how I missed you. And will continue to miss you until... what? March? May? Sometime far too long away.
( Doctor Who: The Christmas Invasion )
Anyways. So. Today, we went car shopping. The plan was just to like... look at cars and test drive cars and see what there was, and it was supposed to end up being a several day process and by the end of break I'd have a new (used) car. Well, it was a good plan. We first went to the Honda dealership and saw a Honda Civic and a Honda Accord. The Civic was about $13000 (and my mom said originally we'd look around $10000, but I figured there was a little room to go up from that) but when I test drove it I didn't really like how it handled, and it felt like sitting in a tin can. And it had a lot of miles on it, too. The Accord was a lot better, but it was like $17000 and had 77000 miles on it but at least it was roomier and I felt more comfortable driving it. So we left the Honda place and went over to SAAB because my mom's car is in getting fixed and she wanted to check to see if they had made progress and then said we could look at cars around there to see if there was anything in the price range, even though we doubted it, because SAABs are like... more expensive in general, I think (though they are nicer cars). Anyways, we looked and then we found this 2001 SAAB 95 that had only 47000 miles (which isn't bad at all for a 2001) and it was only $16000. I mean, it was less than the Accord and I liked it a lot better and it had less miles (and it was older, too, than the Accord) and it felt comfortable because my mom's car is a SAAB and so I'm used to it, and before I knew it we were inside and discussing our finance options.
So, yeah. Guess what I have now parked in our driveway? :D Ah, it's really nice and I love it and I'm so happy. And right now I have the urge to name it the Tardis, but that's probably because I am a huge dork (and I don't know that I'm entirely serious about that. I may just be still coming off the Doctor Who high. We'll see what I think about it in a month). I'll post a picture of it tomorrow (along with a few Christmas pictures). Also, I got one last Christmas present that my dad forgot to give me yesterday (or maybe he couldn't get it today? I don't know): a little... thingy that plays your iPod over the radio. I had the iTrip thing before but it stopped working with my iPod, and this thing is like... an iCar? maybe? Anyways, it'll recharge your iPod while it's playing in the car, which is really awesome, and you can have multiple stations preset and then change it to whatever's clearest, and yeah, it's just awesome. So yay for that. :D
Anyways, yeah. Good day.
