Even though my old car, Juniper, is still running great, I decided to get a new car while my old car was still worth something so I could put it towards a new car rather than run my old car into the gr
ound and have it not be worth anything. This was a very hard decision as I love Juniper to pieces and was not really excited about putting lots of money into getting a new car. After lots and lots of researching I decided to get a Chevy Cobalt. Really, all I was looking for was a inexpensive, manual, coupe with good gas milage but you'd be surprised how hard that is to find. I had to order it because I wanted a manual transmission. None of the dealers (Chexy, Honda, Ford) even had a stick shift on the lot for me to test drive. Why get a m
anual? Well, they are more fun to drive and because I like them. Also, this internet story made me laugh, "At a gas station in a bad neighborhood, a man pulled a gun on me and told me to get out of the car. Then he saw the stick shift, yelled 'Shit!' and ran off." LOL! So I ordered this car and put a $1000 downpayment on it awhile ago. On Saturday I went to the dealership and filled out the paperwork and wrote them a $14,000 check. Let me tell you, writing a check (while it was cool that I could do that) and walking away with nothing other than a bunch of copies of paperwork is not fullfilling. But today, I finally got my car. She is pretty and silver which contributed to her name which is Luna. Silver like the light of the moon. It must say it is really nice having A/C, lights that autimatically turn on, and not having the car veer to the left all of the time. This is the beginning of hopefully a very, very long friendship.
