But just think how fast you’d get approved for that loan? They’d be all, “credit, schmedit”.

p.s. I let my husband do the car shopping. That way there are less bodies for me to hide.

The best part-bootie call and the salesperson.

Why does that not surprise me?

I hope she mentally slapped him silly!

I have a Volvo and I love my car almost as much as
I love the husband and the kids.

I hated car shopping so very, very much. It’s like the 9th circle of hell for someone who is indecisive and introverted and knows nothing about what the difference is between this number of v’s and that number of v’s. I hope that my car lasts me until the end of time so that I don’t have to do it again.

When buying a car, I recommend you do the smart thing:

Close your eyes and point.

I have been driving my Mercury Mountaineer for almost 11 years. If I could sleep with it, I would.

Oh, whatever. You’ll be back, and sooner than you think. They all come back.

First new car I bought was in college. The lovely sales guy decided to take it upon himself to warn me that my “virtue” was a gift and I should be careful, because “boys in college only want one thing, and you need to protect yourself from attempts on your virtue.” My virtue and I had parted ways quite happily 2 years before, so THAT was awkward. He really was a nice man, just completely misguided about, oh, everything beyond my new Honda.

ugh, I hate cars so much. I wish we had a bus system here. I keep telling my husband I’m going to buy a horse and keep it in my parking space. That has to be less maintenance and cheaper too right?

My first car was a 4-door, ’76, brown, buick skylark. When you turned the ignition off, it still ran. Now you’re jealous, aren’t you?

Stay away from the Volvo. I say this only because I had a lemon station wagon where gas would flow onto the street while driving.

Ooooh, new car. MMMM.

I just went college shopping. Just accepted about a cars worth of education for the next year. I can’t believe I’m going back…

I think I figured out why I can’t sleep lately.
