Messing with the blogging world since 2005

New car is mine

July 22, 2005

I got the new car and it kicks ass. I’m going to really get to try it out en route to Cortland today for states. I’m leaving in about an hour and can’t wait. The car is comfortable, roomy and a fun drive. I think I made the right decision in going with the new car and the lease.

The dealership even called me today with a follow-up call to see how I liked it. Awesome!

And now, it’s off to states. A 27-team tournament with a lot of good teams. Just hoping we can play well and place. And if all goes well, maybe we can get on a roll and win the damn thing. But, to win that tournament, you need to play a flawless weekend, hit well, and have some luck riding with you. Hopefully we get all three and good pitching.

Anyhoo, I’ll try and post more photos of the car in my gallery at the end of the weekend. Hopefully I’ll get some good shots!

Today

July 21, 2005

Well, today’s the day. The new Jetta. At least all the paper work. I’m hoping they’ll be able to prep the car in time to indeed hook me up with it by this afternoon. I won’t be able to stand to wait another day knowing all the paper work is done and the car is supposed to be mine!

This will also be my first “new” car. Although it’s actually not being owned by me, it’s still my first new car and I’m pretty pumped about it.

I actually slept decent last night, which shocked me. But I woke up around 6 a.m. and was like “Oh damn, I’m never going to be able to get back to sleep.” But I did, thankfully.

If I get the vehicle tonight, I’ll take some shots and post them in the gallery and maybe one here. Hopefully all goes well!

End of the road

July 20, 2005

Ha. Get it? End of the road? I’m getting a car. Road. Ha! Nevermind…

Well, I’ve given a lot of thought to all this and finally came up with a decision. And I went in a total different direction.

I sat down and discussed the car situation with my mother today. Good advice giver those parents can be. And usually, when I can’t make any sense _ AND _ no matter how old I get, parents still are good ones to turn to. Anyway, after realizing I needed to weigh my options and the pros and cons to the Integra, I opted to call around to see if any local dealers had any 5-speeds.

Oh, backing up a bit, I found out for sure the lemon law doesn’t cover private sales. And I didn’t want to get hosed.

So I’m calling around and the second place I call is the VW dealership here. They have some audis, some VWs, all high miles and a little over my range. But they had a Dodge Dakota. Whooopie.

Off the cuff, I ask about leasing. They have the $199 per month deal going for a 2005 Jetta. I say I need more than 12,000 miles though and he says we can do whatever. So he prices 15,000 per year _ 209 per month. Sweet. The one I drove was 212 cause it had a couple other options. No moon roof, but it is a 5-speed.

So I go try one out. I love it. Drives nice, it’s sweet. I’m in like flint, so to speak. On Thursday, I go back to do all the paper work. Hopefully by the time I head to work Thursday, I’ll have some new wheels. 006_grin.gif

And so ends my journey. Seems like it all happened for a reason. I drove out of the VW dealer with a big-ass smile today. First time I’ve been like that when thinking about cars in a long time.

Welcome to the Blogs!

July 19, 2005

I’m going to get this all going by talking about some changes you may have noticed to hoohaaDOTcom.

First, what I’m posting in. The blogging system. A while back, I talked to several members of the message board about doing a blogging system. A bunch offered to get in, do different days and topics, and to do it on a regular basis. However, I set it up and then got a little busy and never got to fill everyone in on how the things work and all. One person posted, but, again, I never got going on my end.

So when I had the chance to add this to the message board, I opted to. This way, the people who were originally going to blog for the site still can. And now, others can get involved and have their own as well. Some people might choose to do something weekly, maybe daily, maybe different time frames. Maybe one topic, maybe more, etc. Who knows. But, it gives members a chance to have one if wanted.

For me, I’m going to basically go with a inside my world sort of thing. I might talk about baseball. I might talk about personal shit. I might just talk in a random sort of way, kind of like I’m doing now.

One thing. If you create a blog, please use it. If it goes for too long and nothing is done to it, I’ll delete it as it’s taking up space for nothing.

Now then, you’ll also hopefully note the gallery. This is where you’ll be able to post your own photos. Please nothing crazy, sick, perverted, etc. Just make it a normal photo album. Big thing is this _ keep the photos where they belong. Your random photos, people, stuff like that go under the second “member’s gallery.” The first one is an overall one which shows everything that is posted. The other category is travel photos. Please keep them to travel shots and shots of where you’ve visited etc. If there are shots with you/others with something in the background, feel free to put them there. If they are party shots while traveling, please put them in the normal one.

Anyway, hope all the members really enjoy the new add-ons and will take advantage of them. Any questions, feel free to PM me on here.

The plot thickens

July 18, 2005

OK, so I’ve opted to at least look at a couple other cars.

I’ve found a place in Albany with a bunch of VWs. The lowest mileage one is a VW Jetta (99) with 57,500 or somewhere around there. I don’t know if I’ll go up there, or somewhere else. Either way, I’d like to try and be in this new car by Friday AM and head off to softball states.

They also have a Cabrio, and a couple newer jettas. The one is a Jetta (2000) with a v-6, 5-speed, loaded. With like 84K miles on it for right around $8,000. Can’t decide if I’d want to plop down 8 grand on a car with that many miles, VW or not.

Anyway, the kid selling the Integra has now come down to 8,000. As I’ve told him I can basically spend around 7,500 (which is true). I told him I’d be in touch in a couple of days. I think I might be able to pull him down to 7,800 and then maybe I’ll go with it. Who knows.

What really sucks about this whole thing is that I wasn’t planning on a new car. And now, all of a sudden, whamo… screw you and buy a car, beyatch! Grrrrr.

I wrote this about Sam Nader during a public celebration of his 100th birthday. I'm sure I'll have something more in the next day or so as well, but this covers a lot about my thoughts of this amazing man. RIP, Sam. You'll be missed.
