find, call, drive long distance, be disappointed, repeat.

Car shopping is SO MUCH FUN! I don't even know what to with myself, it's so much fun; I think the title of the post explains it all. Although there was a little bit of (real) fun in it yesterday:

-Make arrangements to see car, like car, get vin # from car

-pay carfax.com $35 to check up on history of car... dude not tell the truth...but dude clever to change back odometer! (Thank goodness for carfax! totally worth the investment)

-tell friend we're staying with and neighbors that are over what happened

-most kind and friendly neighbor wife says, "GIVE ME THE PHONE #, I'M CALLING THEM" but in a nice, yet firm voice.

-neighbor calls the dude, and speaks in very fast Spanish that I can't keep up with...dude hesitates on other line..." uh...uh...uh.....yeah, I'll tell my cousin, it's his car" (which, in fact, is NOT a lie)

-we giggle as she is on the line with this guy

-she gets off the phone and tells us how the conversation went, but I DO know she left something out that she said, something like, "don't screw with my American friends" or "you lied to my American friends" or something to that effect.

Fun day.

Forget the car...

I'm on craigslist looking for cars, and came across this beauty. Why look for hondas and toyotas when you can have THAT!

My search is over.
