I needed that...

mis_creationI guess I needed that bitch fest because I feel a lot better now. Weird.
It could also be that my music works again. All it took was two re-boots and unplugging and re-plugging in the external. Whew!
I am putting together a Hermes Memorial playlist/post, hopefully to go up over at LunaTunes if they pick the car theme this week.
I am also hoping to actually write the fannish thing I said I would write and not wuss out at the last second 'cause that would suck.
So, the cars I'm looking at. It's down to an '07 Ford Focus (no Found on Road Dead jokes please) and an '05 Kia Sportage (I think). I like them both equally, and I can find nothing wrong with either of them to make me not want them. They both drive well and have nothing obviously wrong with them (no weird noises, no weird smells, no hitches in the giddy-up). And both are newly-cleaned, so they're kind of shiny inside and out. And they're both blue. I did not do this on purpose, I swear, but I can't speak for my subconscious.
The Focus has MP3 CD capability, but both have CD players and working cigarette lighters so I can use my MP3 radio-adapter again. All good.
So now it'll come down to what I can afford. Well, really I can't afford either, but not having a car isn't an option if I want to continue to make money. If I lived in town I could probably forgo a car, even though it wouldn't be fun. There's buses and my own two feet. But I don't live in town, so se la vie.

Date: 2009-05-03 04:14 am (UTC)My dad's truck, an F-250 or something like that, has 350,000+ miles on it, and the only reason he stopped driving it all the time is because of its gas mileage. He still drives it when he needs to haul the big trailer.
My mom's Explorer has never needed any major work done, except for body work from accidents. It's got over 200,000 miles on it.
I come from a Ford family because Fords have worked well for us. I can't speak for other people's experiences, but I have no reason to believe the Fix or Repair Daily jokes.
