And so it is done...
Sep. 24th, 2003 01:12 amI am the owner of *Say it with me now in your best Game Show Host voice* A Brand! New! Caaaar! Yep, that's right. Things went off smoothly and for all I know my old car is now sitting in a small, tightly squashed cube in a junkyard someplace.
It was weird letting go of the Buick, but not as weird as I expected it to be. I mean, I grew up in that car and now that it's gone I feel... well, not really much of anything. When I drove on the lot with it I was just sort of like. "Well, this is it." And when I drove off without it, I was like "Well, that was that."
Goodbye, Little Girl. You served us well. You will never be forgotten.
*sigh* I am happy. I'm feeling damn good. Of course, money will be tight. I've got approximately a grand in sales tax to cough up by the 23rd of next month and that's going to mean a tight belt for the next month and doing without a few things... Not the least of which being a Slayer/Arch Enemy/Hatebreed concert I was really beginning to look forward to *frown.* But in the long run, it's okay. It's worth it for the peace of mind that comes with actually being roadworthy. Right now, I couldn't be unhappy about things if I wanted to.
Now to finish moving and then start unpacking. Can't rest yet!
