Vroom again

I've got a car. It's a Sunfire GT. Manual transmission. Snow tires (and no all-seasons... once I can afford them, rims and tires are in order). Pictures to come at some point.

Back to drinking!

Unfortunate Events

It sucks when circumstances out of your control force you to give up something you've convinced yourself that you need. I took the truck back today, because the financing company won't finance me. They require me to have been at my current job for at least a year, and my boss thinks I started at the beginning of February (I started the beginning of January).

I'm so sad right now. It's practically perfect. The only change I'd make would be to have a v-8 instead of a v-6 engine, but given the price of gas today ($1.00.8 pretty much everywhere in the city) I'm not so concerned. I'll probably end up getting a POS Sunfire or something like that. If I'm lucky, I'll find a GT, but no matter what, I need a vehicle. Soon enough I'll be able to afford something, once work picks up and such, I can either trade in whatever POS I get, or just get a second vehicle for summer or something. Since A has a vehicle already though, I might just do the trade-in thing after all. Regardless, I need a vehicle by the end of the week.

It's quite unfortunate, but nobody can co-sign with me, so as soon as I get the money back, I need to have already found suitable vehicles within my price range.

..In other news, my future landlady kicks ass. She just brought us the makings for dinner! Pasta with bacon (and possibly some sort of cream sauce), salad with what looked like feta, some lots-of-grains bread and some sort of dipping sauge or something for it, plus dressing for the salad. Woo!

I miss it already. It was fun being able to drive over things that stop less... capable.. vehicles. Like curbs. When people stop in the middle of the road right in front of me. Jerks.
