Messing with the blogging world since 2005

My world

Seriously

July 14, 2005

Seriously folks, this is hard work having to find a car. Especially with:

– people not calling back
– Having to find something a little quicker than planned
– Doing research one each car you see listed
– Not having a lot of days off/time to travel to see cars

All I know is I want to be in a new car by the end of next week. I’m not asking for much. Five-speed is about my main thing.

Found a couple I am going to look into.

– 1999 Acura Integra
– 2000 VW Jetta
– 1998 VW Cabrio (soft top!)

There are a couple others I have circled in the Want Ad Digest I have to call on. Hopefully I’ll at least be able to call tonight and all. That would be bonus to be able to get a couple of calls in and have the chance to maybe make a round trip and see several cars on Saturday. And if I like one, want to buy it and all, get my ass up early Monday and go get it done.

I figure this is a car I’m going to have for the next 4 or 5 years. So I want to make sure it’s something I like.

For those that might read this today. Give me some feedback through the comments link here.

– 1999 Integra (38K miles)
Is it too old? In five years, it will be 11 years old. Is it worth getting now? Any word on these cars? Mileage etc?

– 2000 Jetta (65K miles on it).
Too many miles? Will it be worth it in five years? Look elsewhere? Thoughts?

– 1998 Cabrio (40,500 miles)
Once again, too old? Is it too much of a wuss car? Is convertable worth it, or too much of a killer on the insurance? Any other thoughts?

Anyhoo, that’s where I’m at. Still looking. The loaner needs to go back in the next day or two. I’m going to rent a car for a week. So my goal is to find a new car by the end of next week. With no days off besides Friday, which is when we leave for the state softball tournament. So my goal is to find something and then be up early on one of the days and get it done.

Argh. This process sucks.

Argh!

July 12, 2005

Finding a car is a bunch of shit. Shit I tell ya!

See, here’s the thing. My engine went, well, is almost gone anyway. For those that have read my one post on the regular message board.

The local dealer says he can’t find what I want. Which basically starts at a 5-speed, and then I’m open from there. He pretty much dropped it back in my lap.

I found a car I like, 5-speed, private party for like 6,300 bucks. I’m now waiting for a call back to tell me if it’s available or not still. I’m really hoping so and then maybe I’ll have a chance to get up and look at it like Saturday. That’s the problem. I have to work the rest of the week and it’s an hour away.

Finding cars sucks.

Now then, I saw a couple. One was a decent price. A 2001 Kia Sportage. (It’s not the one I’m waiting to hear back on.) I’ve read too many crappy things about it, although it looks like a decent vehicle. And it’s 4WD.

Ahhh well, the life of finding a car. I’m sure I’ll be posting more here as my search picks up. And if I find a new car. Argh!

Harper is counting down to Santa Paws! You know, Harper is counting down to Santa Paws! 

You know, of course, Santa Paws travels with Santa Clause, making sure to find treats and toys for all the good little doggies! (We know they are all deserving, right?) So, Harper put out some milk for the big guy, carrots for Rudolph and the reindeer, and special cookies for Santa Paws! She is ready!

I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I have her. It’s been a year and four months and she makes me smile and laugh more each day. It’s amazing how much a dog changes your look on life, and how much joy they can bring.

This one is recent from the courthouse square in Delhi. We had some pretty good fall colors this year.

This is why we can’t have nice things. Saw this This is why we can’t have nice things. Saw this on me morning walk Friday with Harper. Likely some college kids, but also as chance at local hooligans. I had Harper so not a lot I could do, but I managed to get the cart off the chair. (See second photo) This was in a local park.

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
