car shopping

Wednesday my dad saw it. Sitting by the fruit stand on his way home from work for $1,500. I went and bought it Thursday and Ben and I cleaned it up to a perfect shine Friday. An '88 Honda Accord. Gets good gas mileage. From Arizona and nearly rust free. (Rust is a big car problem in Colorado.) The former owners were a woman over 50 and her mother-in-law. It's never been driven hard or smoked in. The brownish-maroon interior is in perfect condition. Only 150,000 miles - pretty young for a Honda. Everything works, power windows, locks, and even the clock works. It's way faster than the Subaru was and it's a bit hard not to speed too much. Everything works! I drove it right away. Yea, it's days latter and I'm still really excited, but this car looks like it will be a lot more reliable than my last so hopefully I'll be posting about it less. ; )

Who says I was posting anonymously? Can I help it if the whole world thinks I'm wonderful? Besides mom did it too. ummm.... I mean did it. And there was much more than just changing diapers! I can't believe you would reduce our relationship to taking care of a pet or some thing. I feel like nothing more than an added chore. I'm not speaking to you for that. *crosses arms and sticks nose in the air.*
