An Awesome Day in History

I should be working on my November Novel, need to get in 8,000 words in by tomorrow to be caught up, but I'm taking a break to show you what I bought today, my first brand new car, a 2010 Honda Fit. It's pretty fuckin' sweet. The sweetest part is having a car that I can rely on. Rest assured I will be driving all over hell and back in an expression of my new found freedom. I did feel a little sad abandoning my old car. I'm not sure why, but I've always had an irrational attachment to the thing in spite of all its problems. Sadness was quickly replaced by joy of having a awesomely awesome functional vehicle, with a working radio! and all four doors open properly! and better mgp! and under warranty! and an ipod dock! Woot!

I had expected to be car shopping tomorrow, but I went in for a test drive and one thing led to another and an hour and half late for work but with a new car. I think my boss was more excited than I was when I called and asked if it was okay if I was going to be late. I feel like I got a good deal, and the salesman wasn't a dick either. And I feel badass for having done the whole thing by myself. Even my dad is happy, he didn't have anything to lecture me about.
