I Bought A New Car

Yes it's true! I have a new car!

I went back to the dealer this afternoon, test drove a car or two, looked at a few more, and decided to buy the saturn after all. I drove my boss's truck over there originally, so I had to leave it at the dealer until my boss could come with me to get the car. On the way we picked up a repair manual and a front right motor mount. It looks like my weekend just got filled! I drove the Saturn around town after I picked up the motor mount and I must say that it handles rather well. I'm satisfied with it.

Thanksgiving Pictures

No new car today. I tried out several cars yesterday, and settled on a bare bones 1998 Saturn LS1 with 124K miles logged. It has no power steering and is a 5 speed manual. It isn't a great deal, but it is reliable, simple, and not very expensive; all of which are pluses... at least until I find a Spyder. :-)

Well, I had a WONDERFUL visit home during Thanksgiving. 5 days was far too short. And as a treat to y'all, I have some pictures! Click on them to see bigger versions.
