Gas Prices Today: Abby: 62.6ish; ‘Wack: 59.9

Well, it’s been a while in coming, but I finally got some new wheels. I figured, well, my CD player hasn’t been working all too great lately so why don’t I just replace the whole fscking car.

So I did. I hit the online and found a decent price and then headed out to the dealership to get it. It was actually bought at a VW dealership (and had the financing done at an Audi dealership), but after a long long day last weekend I finally got it all done and finished up. In case you’re wondering, yes that is a loaded 2 Liter VTEC powered ’98 Prelude which redlines at 7500. And yes, that is the car I’ve always wanted (well, I’ve always wanted a not quite new prelude, not this specific one, but I’m certainly not complaining 🙂

So on Saturday I took it in for it’s final buffing and safety inspection (they apparently didn’t have it long enough to do these things yet). Got home around 5pm or so and crashed. Next morning I wake up and find this. So my question is now, who gets the beating? Hell, I haven’t even started making payments and already I have to go to ICBC to be bent over for repair costs! ARGH!

This is why I have never had a new car before.

Anyway, there’s some more pix (well, larger versions of them anyway) on the ArcterCam page. I also put up some new corny and rex pix on the ArcterCat Gallery page. Thanks for letting me use the digital camera dad!
