Finally the car search is over!

Actually beetle is a sedan. I've been thinking of getting one myself. Sawing it into pieces and then weld it together again  to make the most outrageous custom/rod beetle ever seen. And then I would be stuck with it since there is no way it could be accepted as road legal.

Thank the gods, no more car searching!  It's OVER!  I was getting so stressed out, when I found this car, I said screw it and just bought it.  I hate spending money!  I'm a big saver, so I'm really nervous until I get this car on Tuesday.

I went with 72 months (6 years).  Only because it's an open loan.  If it wasn't an open loan, I would have went with 2 or 3 years.  Whatever extra money I put into the car payment goes towards the principal = less interest in the end.

It's a 5 speed!  Now I'm gonna have to practice towing two sea-doo's with a standard. 



I'm lovin' it how all the seats fold down.  I'll be able to load this puppy right full!

Do you guys all drive about with no license plates? 

[Domino]

Plates on my old Lumina were put on that car about 2 hours later.

I had to sign a bunch of paperwork first. 



The last drive of my old 1997 Lumina that i had for 7 years about ready to head off to the dealership to get my newer car.

I will miss you... :'(

Just got back my old Skoda Felicia from the garage...320 â,¬ for changed locks and repaired ignition lock. Included 170 â,¬ towing bill and the theft attempt has cost me almost 500 â,¬, which is probably more than the car is worth. I almost wish they had managed to steal it...

That sucks Andail.  Damn punks.
Aren't you a teacher?  Why are you driving around in a 500 â,¬ car?  8)


Domino, feels great once you don't have to hunt for a car anymore doesn't it?



I'm really getting the hang of driving a standard now.  I've had if for a week and a half and I'm already installing the trailer hitch.  It's funny, the name of the hitch is called "Insta-hitch".  But it has hardly been instant.  I've probably spent almost 5 hours just to fight 2 bolts into the frame.  The car is made with 6 holes and nuts welded on the inside of the frame.  In theory all you have to do is bolt the hitch to the frame with the 6 bolts.

If only it were that easy.  The nuts are completely rusty for some odd reason; considering the rest of the undercarriage isn't rusty.  I couldn't get a wire brush in the hole, it's too small.  So I kept spraying them with WD-40 and kept tightening a few turns, and loosening, then I'd repeat over and over.

I gave up on the second bolt.  I was rummaging through the old man's garage and noticed a mini torch can.  So I just heated the frame and voila, the bolt easily made it's way through.

I had to stop early.  Bugs were starting to eat me alive.  So tomorrow I'll know how to get the rest of those bolts in.  Can't wait to start towing the sea-doo's around with a standard! ...... ok yeah..... I'm nervous as *uck!  But I'll get over it.

I am glad the car hunt is over. Also glad i managed to save enough for a down payment on this car.

I went with my dad who talked them into knocking off 2 thousand dollars off the sticker price.

Car is great, but needs a minor engine adjustment because of a rough idle, which pisses me off.  But i have a warranty.
