ita,
FWIW, I have been through car transactions recently (and helped friends go through them) and we all did all the negotiating via email through the dealership.
That was a very satisfying experience.
I would be there right now.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Amazing how much snot the human body can produce, no?
Marketed and caught up with next door neighbor AND ran into lisah. Currently watching Wild Rumpus with Loki and Pumpkin.
Need to head to the pool by 11. So I'm going to let myself be a little lazy until then. And then the day is ON.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Insomnia headache nausea. But I have to make it to car dealerships and the post office. At the very least.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ugh. Good luck, ita !
Perhaps you could threaten to vomit on the car dealer to get a lower price....

Me too. And then NJ tomorrow. I have so much cleaning and stuff to do before I can leave though. Naturally, I'm starting with the Tivo.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My current car is 12. I'm hoping to get a few more years out of it, since I don't want to deal with car buying yet. (It has just over 96,000 miles on it, and its a Corolla, which have been good cars for me.)

Punishingly Intricate
I once again learned that I should have a better plan before I go to the market. I did manage to get a tiny pie. And smoked cheddar biscuits. But I don't have makings for any kind of a whole meal. ah well.
Good luck with the car shopping today, ita !
I am on my 2nd car of my life and am hoping this one lasts at least until Bob sells his place in chicago. (It's going on the market again this fall probably...if anyone knows anyone who is looking to buy an awesome condo in Chicago!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Uh oh - sore throat. This better not turn into anything.
