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.
