I BOUGHT A CAR.

No, wait.

Most importantly! I fucking called the Iron Man stand up at work. Once we're done advertising the thing, it's mine, and it's awesome. This is what I consider my greatest accomplishment of the day.

I also bought a 2007 Chevy Colorado. It looks pretty much exactly like this. I've barely gotten to drive the thing, so far. I know it's bright red, I know it's a stick shift and I know I spent more on it than I ever imagined myself spending on anything ever, oh my god, [panicpanicpanic], and the paperwork made me an hour and half late to work. I borrowed my brother's bike and rode like the fucking wind to get there, after. I recall sending a few panicked text messages to levade, pushpushlady, and yamiaudra, but NONE OF YOU ANSWERED before the battery on my phone died so I was left to seek comfort from my mother, who told me that, hey, even if this was a horrible financial decision and I lost everything, it looks big enough to sleep in!

... I think I might drive it somewhere.

Yay stick-shift! I personally prefer that over automatic transmission any day.

Hopefully the issue of payments will work itself out over time. If not...well, you could drive across the border :D;

I've still only driven stick shift, like, four times? I'm getting better, though! Apparently, I'm still driving it like a motorcycle, which is ... er, not so good, but it's getting the job done!

I should be able to afford it! Affording it and also getting an apartment is the issue, alas.

I still wish I could get a bike instead of having a car.

Mnnn, sounds fun D: How's cost of living in your area (or area you plan to live in)?

It sucks when you have to carry a significant amount of stuff. Or when it rains. And especially in the snow.

Not, like, huge city high--but highish. If I get a roommate, it looks like rent'll be ... six hundred a month for rent.
