Car Buying Adventure
Buying a car is scary.
The last time I did it, my dad was there for moral support and to be the hard-nosed negotiator. This time, I have Brian. He's good at it, but there's still the scare factor in buying a car on our own. And the loan thing, too. Scary scary scary.
Probably getting up at the ass-crack of dawn tomorrow to drive to Dallas and buy the darn thing. Bye-bye savings! Hello more debt!
Scary.
But—
New-to-us car! Nice new-to-us car. Leather seats! Nav system! Programmable seat position (excellently compensating for the 14" height difference between drivers). My poor Civic is going to have an identity crisis parking next to the pretty new car.
